Len,

I know you love to .... um .... shake things up .... but ... I had my 1st
class radiotelephone license in 1966. I also worked in Electromagnetic
Compatibilty testing in 1995. Believe me, even an improperly grounded power
pole can cause problems. No, I am not suggesting "interfering" with an
unlicensed service. I am suggesting asserting the rights of a licensed
service. Unlicensed services may not cause interference and must put up
with interference. You, and some others, think this is an "amateur vs. the
world" thing. It is not. There will be problems with other services, I can
assure you.

You have the "studies" to prove this as a fact?

Every single transformer between the injection
point of the signal and the end user must be bypassed with the BPL signal
for that signal to work.

Of course you KNOW the EXACT CHARACTERISTICS of "a BPL
signal," don't you?

I don't and won't presume to guess. But, you are AUTHORIZED by the
FCC to "legally interfere with any unlicensed service (of any kind)"
and
are therefore blameless.

If you only have one user every few miles, it will
never pay off. And of course you've mentioned the power and/or signal
boosters required. Periodic boosters all along the line will be needed.

Ah so, the federal authorization magically makes all amateurs into
technical experts who KNOW things all through answering a few
questions and passing a morse code test.

Must be that new "interest" thing in hum radio.
