| IBOC and BPL. What fun!

Rochester, Minnesota (70 miles away from me in
the Southeastern 'burbs of the Twin Cities) has just
opened a BPL "experiment." I'm contemplating
a trip down there with the old Frog - 7 and a tape
recorder, just to have a listen for myself. Hopefully,
NTIA and FEMA will, along with the radio hobbyist
community, send this thing to the grave.

If I'm able to record some QRM, I'm going to note the
frequencies and severity, turn it into MP3s, and make
the MP3s available to anyone with an interest.

If BPL gets the green light, HF receivers' noise figures
will be absolutely meaningless, and DX will be gone for good.

Keep us posted, I for one would like to hear what the interference might
sound like.
