Hams Complain about Powerline Broadband

broadband over power lines (BPL) would be wonderful? There might be some collateral damage. The American Radio Relay League (your friendly neighborhood ham radio operators) have documented dramatic HF radio interference in areas where BPL is being tested (Check out the video of actual interference)."

They should just ditch those radios and move on to VoIP. ;)
--- I w00t, therefore I'm l33t.
Way to go hams!! Lets sacrifice modern and accessable communication in favor of bouncing radio waves off the atmosphere!
ever since this "internet" thing came along I havn't found a use for using my license. Lets make an agreement that the powerline internet gets shut down on field day, cause thats kinda fun.
*eyes widen*...But there hasn't been any link beetween powerline internet and 802.11 performance has there?
are ham radio people not usually short and fat? i say we kick their asses.

this is worse than coal train companies complaining about the DOT paving roads over railroad tracks.
"Hams Complain about Powerline Broadband"
All ten of them?
Hey, that's fine. If something catastrophic occures and the phone lines (and power!) go out, you're back at the right hand of community service. All the girls who ran away to sidle up on the Broadband through Power hunks will realize the error in their ways and come slinking back in shame.
Will this be like the movie where the stubborn general doesn't listen to the sensitive and intelligent scientist and tries to use force to solve the problem rather than playing a game of tic-tac-toe or having a skiing competition?
Will the HAMs somehow arrange for the FCC or the PUC to end up with a custard pie in the collective faces to underscore how wrong they are, after they win the day?
Just remember. Morse-Code over HAM radio won us the Independence Day Alien showdown. Without HAM we never could have coordinated! And Morse code! Don't forget Morse code!

Then you should FEEL dirty and ASHAMED! How can you have that aardvark hanging between your filthy puke inducing crotch when there is a treatment for the UGLY DICK condition? That's right, as a Linux chick I can't count the many times I've encountered this DIGUSTING problem.
Linux Guys are VERY GROSSLY uncircumcised do to the fact that the leaders of this movement are not. Linus "long foreskin" Torvalds and Alan "uncut" Cox are PRIME examples of ugly SMELLY SMEGMA dick. I suggest that we take up a collection and CIRCUMCISE these guys.
Until this is done, I'll only use GPL software from properly circumcised and beautiful cocked men like RMS. So NO Linux kernel for this HOT GPL chick..only the HURD until these filthy uncircumcised Linux guys get the operation and become clean.
No, but people do transmit data over it already. At least I hope there isn't any instances of tcp/ip over ham. Seeing as how radio is an unroutable beast. Now you can assign IPs to the endpoints and that would be good.
Occam's razor is the blind faith in the natural selection of least resistance and in universal oversimplification. -- EF
Nevermind, forget I said anything.
I'm trying to teach myself to set people on fire with my mind... Is it hot in here?
I would like to emphasize that GNAA does not oppose the spread of powerline broadband. Please wait for the official press release.
The radio spectrum is an infinite spectrum and it really does bother me that some people don't understand that. Personally, I think the spectrum should be reallocated and the regulations should be rewritten from scratch every ten years.
HA! This PROVES that foreskinned guys are DEVIANTS and HOMOSEXUALS! Any woman loving heterosexual is clean and circumcised. He is properly employed and loves to FUCK women.
Uncircumcised guys have to BE GAY because NO WOMAN would touch that FILTHY DISGUSTING GROSS puke inducing penis. That explains why you are gay, NO WOMAN WANTS your gross penis. That's why Europe's population is dropping LIKE A BOMB! European men are ALMOST ALWAYS UNCIRCUMCISED and this is TOTALLY GROSS.

From posted comments we can infer:
a) Ham is only useful in:
- disasters
- unpopulated areas w/o internet connectivity or cellphone coverage or satellite communication coverage
b) The rest of uses of ham radio falls under the description of hobby.
- When a disaster happens the first to go out is power, so no problem with interferences here.
- The unpopulated areas which comply requisites of such isolation are unlikely to have power coverage!
So, no problem! Benefits of broadband over power lines overweight by some orders of magnitude the ham radio usefulness.
I'm a chainsmokin' alcoholic sociopath, so-ci-o-path
If it's more than a hobby, I can't help but think that you're doing the general public a disservice by requiring search and rescue team members to have an amateur radio license in order to communicate effectively.
It's not -that- hard, as a non-profit or even a loose-knit group, to get a commercial-band frequency allocation from the FCC, share a frequency with someone else, and/or borrow repeater space.
Then, people wouldn't need licenses. They could just volunteer, be assigned a radio, and do whatever needs done.
Besides, the radios are simpler. You can tell someone "Only use channel 1; push this button to talk" and they'll generally just get it. Compare this with a typically button-laden, accident prone HAM radio, and I think it's obvious which one Joe Search Bumpkin would be more comfortable using.
The stench of self-important bullshit surrounding your post, KD5SMV, reminds me of a brief conversation I had with with a member of a local "Emergency CB Relay" league.
You know the type. You'll be meeting with a group of them sometime within the next 30 days in a wooden shack with a large tower just outside. That you'll be talking about antenna farms and radio mods while they'll be discussing hot linears does not detract from the insipid inanity mutual to both hobbies.
Ditch your radios dork and send the license back to Washington DC.
