Thanks Tracey for the information on the PLT
situation in Germany. I wrote to my MP a few weeks ago on the subject and
finally recieved a disturbing reply from Erkki Liikanen of the European
Commission. I quote part :-
"--it is the task of public authorities to ensure
that such pollution remains at levels which will allow the continued use of the
spectrum for its MOST IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS,THOSE OF RADIOCOMMUNICATIONS AND
BROADCASTING.
later he says "The extent to which the harmonised
standards that are to be developed will be comparable to NB30,or for that matter
the UK enforcement standard MPT1570,remains to be seen,as does the question
of WETHER PLT Power Line Telecomminication systems WILL
BE ABLE TO MEET THEM".
Finally he says " The radio amateur community
should therefore participate in and contribute to the standards development
process,which is mandated to CENELEC and ETSI"
Are we participating? I see very little
mention of the subject in RadCom. Anyway it looks like its a fait
accomplie.
