ARRL's drive to block the introduction of power line comms in the USA ,by
means of 'competent (engineering) reasoning' ,must be applauded.


It seems to me that the whole concept is flawed. Not that much BW (up to 30
MHz, or 5 cable TV channels), large power levels required to drive anything
into the grid, and a truly ungodly noise environment -- we Hams and SWLs
already know aobut light dimmers, etc. *radiating* from the power lines --
imagine trying to receive a signal *on* those lines.

OK, there are wireless intercoms and baby monitors and Plug-N-Power controlelrs
that use your house lines, but anything bigger feels to much like salmon
swimming upstream against the laws of common sense engineering. --Mike K.
