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.
73s Laurie.
