Contract announced in San Diego BPL trial

An update on an anticipated BPL experiment in Southern California we reported on earlier.

A spokesman for San Diego Gas and Electric says that the contract for the company's first Broadband over Powerline technology trial has been signed. This, even though others point out that the company apparently elected not to give the public 30 days advance notice as required by FCC Rule 15.615.

San Diego Gas and Electric says that it is planning to conduct the initial baseline RFI background tests on Wednesday, July 27th with official participants being permitted to bring their own test equipment. The company has also announed that it has formed a working group as a forum for communicating with public safety agencies and other critical radio users in the San Diego community.

The company also says that as a courtesy, the ARRL has also been invited to join, but as of this report the League has not provided a representative.
