San Diego BPL trial on temporary hold

A follow up to last week's story of an imminent BPL trial by San Diego Gas and Electric in California.

As reported last week, the utility had already chosen the location for the experiment and that information would be
released shortly. Well, it's now a week later and this has yet to happen.

According to the latest CGC Communicator, San Diego Gas and Electric apparently has yet to sign a contract with its first BPL equipment vendor and has chosen to withhold specific location information until all of its ducks are in a row. This also means that our prediction that the tests
might begin within the next 30 days may not be on target.

Bob Gonsett, W6VR, who edits the CGC Communicator says that several amateur radio operators have called asking how they can become a part of ARRL's interference test once the San Diego pilot program is underway.

Bob asked that question of Tuck Miller, NZ6T. He says that the person to contact is ARRL Section Manager Pat Bunsold, WA6MHZ. Bunsold can be reached by e-mail to WA6MHZ@arrl.org
