    Broadband Over Power Line (BPL) and Amateur Radio

    Discussion Groups

    BPLandHamRadio

    Broadband over Power Line (BPL) poses a significant potential global interference problem to amateur radio. This Yahoogroups.com list is primarily directed toward a discussion of the interference being caused by BPL systems to amateur, CB and short-wave radio listeners. It is the most active of the BPL discussion groups, so it also serves as a resource for those interested in BPL (PLT/PLC) and its effects on the various users of the HF radio spectrum around the world. Members get access to some of the latest news articles and have the opportunity to discuss the implications of new developments in this rapidly changing area of interest. The list archives contain a great deal of useful information for anyone interested in understanding the BPL issues. This is a moderated list, with membership approved by the moderator. When joining please provide a call sign or detail your interest in radio.

    BPL-Access

    This Yahoogroups.com list is for discussion of Broadband over Power Line (BPL), and Power Line Communications (PLC) technology. At this time, it is still being tested in various locations, and is very promising. There are certain concerns with this new way to access the Internet, and discussions of the pros and cons of BPL are welcome here.

    BPLW

    This Yahoogroups.com list is focused on a web publication -- Broadband over Power Line World. BPLW reports on and facilitate involvement in the movement towards the provision of broadband Internet connectivity through power lines.
