Last Friday we received a response to our FOIA request to the FCC for the redacted material from the BPL proceeding. Dave and the staff have been reviewing the material and there are some very interesting details contained in it. Attached are some tidbits. In one place a report is discussing the fact that the measured emissions from a Main.net device exceeded the Part 15 limit. In the redacted report the statement reads: "If distance scaling were based on distance to the pole ground wire rather than the nearest part of the BPL system [portion deleted] measurements would have passed with 1 dB margin at the selected quasi-peak measurement location" What was deleted? The following parenthetical comment: "(a suggestion made by Main.Net's CTO, but which we consider to be invalid)," In other words, the statement was retained but the fact that the FCC staff thought it was invalid was deleted. We now know - and can show the world - why Judge Tatel stated in his concurring opinion, ".there is little doubt that the Commission deliberately attempted to exclude from the record evidence adverse to its position." You can certainly see why the FCC didn't rely on the information contained in this slide. Also attached are the documents that the FCC uploaded to the ECFS on their web site. This is now all public. Interestingly, the cover sheets identifying each test were NOT scanned in, so it is very confusing which test is which. This was obviously intentional. These are the bulk of the studies that we got on paper, however. File #1 is just Chris's cover letter. The staff is preparing a story for ARRLWeb and we obviously will publicize this widely! To quote Riley Hollingsworth from a few weeks ago "The ARRL held the FCC's feet to the fire on the science, and proved they let politics override sound engineering!" I am sending info in two files since some of the attachments are large. First set attached. 73 Joel W5ZN
