Hi Jim, et al,
Also sorry to hear about no LF band for US.
I think it is not radio interference, but political interference they are
referring to in the paragraph you quoted. Because earlier it says:
an allocation to the amateur service could result in the need for PLCs to
modify or cease their >operations to avoid causing interference to
amateurs,"

Dear John, LF group, Lowfers
Very sorry to hear about the FCC's absurd decision. The ARRL report
reads:-
>The FCC said a new amateur LF allocation is not justified "when balanced
against the greater public interest of an interference-free power grid."
Have they got this the right way round? Virtually all radio services on LF
suffer a continual and steadily increasing amount of interference from the
power grid, but I have yet to hear of an instance where radio signals
cause
interference problems to the power grid. All seems a bit "Alice in
Wonderland"...as if a secretary somewhere had made a typo, and no-one who
knew anything about the subject had ever checked it.
