Thanks for reminding me that I need to send a few bob to the fighting fund.

They're not complaining about hamrad freqs only. But much more importantly
they are supported by NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) and MSTV
(Association of Maximum Service Television).

So it's a joint motion by both hams and broadcasters, all of who lose out
with BPL.

The problem with BPL is that as a technology it's pants and is being
overtaken by better distibution methods all the time. The aim is to get the
rubbish laws that allow BPL to wreck all radio comms revoked so that when
BPL finally dies a death, the poor laws aren't left on the statute books
that would allow some other group to ruin RF based comms.
