Relativistic black-hole jet sources are leading candidates for high energy(>> TeV) neutrino production. The relations defining (a) efficient photopionlosses of cosmic-ray protons on target photons and (b) gamma-gamma opacity ofgamma rays through that same target photon field imply clear multiwavelengthpredictions for when and at what energies blazars and GRBs should be mostneutrino bright and gamma-ray dim. The use of multiwavelength observations totest the standard relativistic jet model for these source is illustrated.Comment: 11 pages, 1 figure, ApJ Letters, in pres
