W1RFI to Represent ARRL at BPL Session:

ARRL Lab Manager Ed Hare, W1RFI, will represent the League June 7 at a meeting to consider the development of standards for BPL technology. The IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) will sponsor the gathering, "Call for Interest in Standards Development for Broadband over Power Lines (BPL)," in conjunction with the IEEE Power Engineering Society. The IEEE says the meeting will focus on understanding how standardization of BPL technologies will accelerate its development. Among the session's stated objectives is to identify regulatory issues, including interference. This session will be take place during the IEEE Power Engineering Society general meeting in Denver. Hare is a member of the American National Standards Institute C63 Accredited Standards Committee on Electromagnetic Compatibility http://www.c63.org on which he chairs the ad hoc BPL/PLC working group and the subcommittee on immunity.

I cannot think of anyone more competent to represent the league at the IEEE-SA meeting. Have a great trip... 73

Remember to bring your TS-440 'S-meter analyzer'

Thanks for your efforts W1RFI! SWLs and Hams in Alaska are hoping for the best.

I can't even get our LOCAL power company to resolve an on-going AC-line noise problem (2yrs. & counting) and we're going to TRUST those same BOZOs with BPL and the associated noise-problems it'll create???

YAH RIGHT!!!

Now wait a minute, remember that this interference was demonstrated on equipment most hams own. I know of only a few hams that even own or can even interpret the information displayed on a $27,000+ spectrum analyzer. The demonstration Ed gave I think was very valid. While clearly not the most scientific method, I think it shows something all hams can relate to. Now I'm sure the ARRL owns such an analyzer, but adjusting one while driving let alone powering such a device off a noisy DC-AC inverter would be pretty dicey.
Cut the guy some slack...

Yah! Cut Ed some slack. I can't think of anyone who sees the "big picture" on BPL as well. His involvement in the BPL fiasco is certainly welcomed, at least from this station.
