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).

Well, I know the whole thing is a bit far out, but it is fun to dream of
harrasing the BPL folks.
