I see today that the Texas House amended the odious SB21 Telecomm/BPL/SBC handout bill so that interference complaints may be made to the Texas Public Utility Commission, as well as the FCC.
Well, whoop-de-doo. Since amateur radio is a federally regulated service, the PUC will naturally pass the buck to the FCC. And since the FCC is in the pocket of the BPL industry, you can guess where that complaint will get filed.
As for me, I will continue to rely on that "must accept any interference" clause in Part 15, which the FCC didn't have the huevos to change, as well as the study showing "as little as 2 watts would lock up the system completely". I'm researching schematics for legal limit amps. QRO? Betcher ass!
