Radio Amatuers Sue The FCC

The American Radio Relay League, a nationwide association of some 152,000 US Amateur Radio operators, in May filed suit in the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit against the Federal Communications Commission. The suit is over the FCC's role in approving Broadband over Power Lines (BPL), an Internet technology that has the side effect of jamming short wave radio reception near the power lines it uses. The FCC has filed a reply brief.
