PETITION TO SAVE SHORT WAVE RADIO

Post by **BigCat** » 14 Aug 2008, 20:47

Please may I take this opportunity to encourage ALL members of this forum to sign the 10 Downing Street E-Petition to SAVE SHORTWAVE RADIO from overwhelming INTERFERENCE from British Telecom's BT Home-Hub / Vision Powerline Adapters and other similar PLT / BPL (Broadband By Power Line) devices that threaten to swamp our radios with impossible amounts of noise and QRM.

Please encourage anyone and everyone that you know who has any interest in radio, whether it is as a broadcast listener, an 'SWL' (Short Wave Listener), a Radio Amateur or CB operator to sign the E-Petition.

PLEASE sign the E-PETITION here :

Don't forget to sign the e-petition all you SWL's and scanning enthusiasts.

Unless we stop Broadband by PowerLine devices in their tracks, when you get someone near you install one that will be the end of your hobby - stopped in its tracks.

There'll be no point discussing what's the best antenna, what's the best scanner or HF receiver or what's the best cable, because everything will be blotted out by BT!!

Come on everyone!!

Well done guys.

Next in our sights should be proliferation of cheap unfiltered switch-mode power supplies and also plasma televisions, both of which are serious blights on the radio spectrum.

Signed it! Got a mate to do it to, although he's not a Ham, scanner or SWL!!
I'm lucky by me as most people are old codgers with no internet or jumped on the "free wireless router" bandwagon!

Mind you I'm only on 2m so when I get the CB live next weekend I think it may be a different story!!

I've signed it, started to notice this interference more and more on the CB bands.
