>From Susan AF4FO
Some great news on the BPL front for Georgia. GLENN PURCELL, of
GrayStone, the
company that has been doing a pilot test for BPL in the Douglasville
area,
has informed ED HARE, W4RFI, of the ARRL, that the company has decided
NOT to
pursue BPL as a commercial service. Furthermore, they will NOT conduct
pilot
testing in any other areas. (YEE-HA!) Overhead units have already been
shut
down, and shutdown on all underground units will begin in November. In
his
letter, Mr. Purcell also mentioned how much he enjoyed working with our
BPL
Team Leader in the area, LES WILDING, K4OL, and said that he learned
much
from him. Many, many thanks to Les for his great work.
I am a Greystone EMC customer and very happy to hear this news. I Don't
see an email address for K4OL on qrz.
I would love to thank him personally for his efforts.
