What if I don't want BPL signals on my house wiring, which I own, interfering
with radio reception in my house? Can I demand they keep their BPL signals
out of my private wiring?
Well, if I were sufficiently resourceful and beligerant, I'd do one or a
combination of the following: i) move to some place out in the boonies
where the power lines are far away and generate my own electricity. I'm in
a retirement house and they had to bring power lines 700 feet to the house
and 300 feet from my property line to the nearest source and I seriously
looked into purchasing a 10-30 kw diesel generator and giving THEM the
finger. ii) unhook your house from the utility and generate your own
(might not help for RF radiated from the PLs), iii) explore other modes
and frequencies if you get BPL ORM and see if you can live with what is
left in your hobby, or iv) change hobbies (birdwatching, beer, etc).
