Cá pelo nosso Portugal, a PT e a ANACOM, tambem vão convidar os radioamadores a ajudar as pessoas a transitar para a TV digital!!!...De preferencia a aconselhar o uso de PLCs para distribuir o sinal pela casa toda!!!..<div>
<br></div><div>A credibilidade dos radioamadores e a aceitação dos mesmo nota-se nestes actos. Agora é que se pode dizer, que é "mesmo à americana"...Em Portugal um cenário destes seria no minimo impossivel, pois nós apenas servimos para fazer interferencias ( e já agora ninguem interfere em nós...O que existe por aí são uns "sempre os mesmos" a refilar que têm interferencias do PLC e das linhas de alta tensão etc, porque a grande maioria, ou fica à espera que a situação desapareça, ou simplesmente desliga tudo e parte para outra)...</div>

<h1>Hams' help still needed in DTV switchover </h1>
<p><font face="Verdana">Not everyone is ready for the upcoming United States
transition to all-digital television and ham radio's assistance is still needed
in the public awareness campaign. </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Jim Meachen, ZL2BHF, reports:</font></p><font face="Verdana">
<hr align="center" width="50%" noshade>
</font>
<p><font face="Verdana">According to the A.C. Neilsen Company, some 3.8 million,
or 3.4% of all United States households are still unprepared for the digital
television transition slated to take place on June 12th. </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Geographically, Albuquerque, New Mexico, is the least
prepared, with 9.4% having no over-the-air digital reception capability. It’s
followed by the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and Houston, Texas, each with 6.3%
of the citizenry not ready for the transition.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">On the other side of the equation, the most digital ready
cities appear to be New Haven and Hartford, Connecticut and the Providence to
New Bedford region of Rhode Island. Each of these have less than one percent of
their citizens unprepared for the digital TV change.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">As previously reported, several months ago the FCC
requested, through the ARRL, that ham radio operators assist their communities
in preparing for the digital television rollout. Many radio clubs across the
U.S. have <br>reportedly become involved as advisors in this ongoing public
service effort, nationwide.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"></font> </p>
<p><em><strong><font face="Verdana">Jim Meachen, ZL2BHF</font></strong></em></p>
<p><br><font face="Verdana">Again, the date for the transition to digital
television in the United States is June 12th. If your club wants to assist in
helping the public to be prepared for the move, please contact the
ARRL<br></font><br></p></div>

Salve as frequencias de radio. Não use a rede electrica para transmitir dados. O PLC causa fortes interferencias noutro serviços sem voce se aperceber. Diga não ao PLC. Proteja o ambiente<br>
