Smart Metering by Power CompaniesSmart Metering could become a serious threat for amateur radio, when wide band is used. The EUROCOM Working Group chaired by Gaston Bertels, ON4WF, produce the EUROCOM Newsletter which can be downloaded from the web at http://www.darc.de/ausland/iaru/eurocom/ At the EUROCOM WG meeting in Friedrichsfhafen, member Societies were invited to forward information concerning power companies planning power line communications for collecting metering data, and possibly the frequencies under consideration. Thilo Kootz, DL9KCE provided input which has been published in the 07.07.2008 issue of the newsletter. The report mentions that IBM are already using frequencies up to 1.5 MHz and the concern is that over time frequencies will rise. The PDF of the newsletter containing the report by Thilo Kootz, DL9KCE can be downloaded from: Google Translation of article [1] referenced in the report http://tinyurl.com/55fqsj
