A group of concerned members of the Colorado technical community who are active in the support of public service and emergency communications in the community through the use of Amateur Radio and who are experts in telecommunications technology and radio frequency interference through their employment and professional experience.

The members of the Colorado BPL Team are:

HF radio has been the basis for communications since the beginning of wireless RF communications. It has been used by government and military personnel, civil defense and emergency services personnel, commercial businesses, shortwave broadcasters, Amateur Radio operators and shortwave listeners for nearly 100 years in times of peace, war, and natural disaster. This team is committed to preserving the ability of these services to use the MF and HF radio spectrum in Colorado and throughout the United States.

The team will work with the local power utilities demonstrating or implementing BPL and the businesses whose technology is being demonstrated or implemented to help them identify harmful interference, locate the specific causes of the harmful interference, and ensure that the harmful interference is eliminated.

The team will work with the ARRL, The National Association For Amateur Radio, and enlist their assistance to ensure that all efforts by the committee are valid, properly documented, and completed with the utmost attention to honesty and integrity. The team will file responses to requests by the ARRL and the FCC for comment on technical issues associated with the regulation of BPL and with identifying, understanding and eliminating harmful interference from BPL systems.

The team will adhere to the highest moral and ethical standards in all its actions.
