Current Communications response

Here is the response from Current Communications regarding my request for information about the spectrum used by their devices and any steps they have taken to avoid interference.  If their claims are correct there should be no interference from the BPL to amateur radio or any other part of the spectrum.

Dear Mr. Woodie,

Thank you for your interest in BPL. We at Current certainly share your interest in correcting apparent misperceptions that BPL, or all forms of BPL, will interfere with amateur radio systems. As you are no doubt aware, there are many thousands of amateur radio operators in the U.S.
and we simply could not entertain all requests like yours.

Nevertheless, it turns out that amateur radio operators, including the ARRL itself, have already done extensive testing of Current's BPL systems, both in the Hyde Park area and elsewhere. We are satisfied that these tests, as well as our own and those performed by other third parties, demonstrate that our BPL systems will not cause interference to licensed users, including amateur radio. In fact, the ARRL has recently filed comments with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regarding its most recent testing in which it concluded that "no BPL noise was heard in [the amateur] bands." We believe such testing will continue to "quell the fears and complaints of local amateurs," as you put it.

We would also point out that Current's BPL systems fully comply with applicable FCC emission's limits (codified in Part 15 of the FCC's rules), which are intended to prevent interference to other spectrum users. We invite you to review our comments filed with the FCC. They are a matter of public record. Again, thank you for your interest.

Sincerely,
Darrell Smith
