ARRLWeb: Manassas BPL System Doesn't Comply with Database Rules, ARRL Says

"Manassas BPL System Doesn't Comply with Database Rules, ARRL Says
NEWINGTON, CT, Nov 28, 2005--

The Manassas, Virginia, BPL system does not comply with FCC Part 15 rules because its operator failed to provide full information to the public BPL database by the November 19 deadline and the system should be shut down, the ARRL has told the FCC.

The letter from ARRL General Counsel Chris Imlay, W3KD, to FCC Spectrum Enforcement Division Chief Joseph Casey comes barely six weeks after the League called on the Commission to turn off the Manassas BPL system because of unresolved interference complaints to Amateur Radio.

Imlay told Casey the later correspondence supplements the earlier complaint, filed October 13 on behalf of three Manassas radio amateurs. "

Code may be taking a back seat for now,
but the pioneering spirit that put the code
there in the first place is out front of it all.
