Gee, Len, BPL isn't supposed to be radio at all. Fill us in on the
various intended BPL wireless propagation media. Those power lines
are intended to be antennas?


Maybe BPL is the answer to hams who can't put up HF
antennas? :-) CQ BPL CQ BPL CQ BPL...

Isn't that what a lot of the newsgroup is doing now? hehe



I wonder why they have to have wireless routers and receivers
(what frequency do they operate at?...)


Around 2.4GHz or elsewhere in the microwave band.

Kee-rect! Now I wonder why they don't put them at some other frequency,
such as HF? Isn't there a HF segment somewhere around 27 MHz or so where
they used to have cordless phones? Why not use that? I don't think there
are any phones there now.

Then let us modulate say a 1.8 MHz signal with say a 30 MHz signal.

Aww heck. Why don't we use a quarter wave dipole for the antenna on
this beast! ;^)

Seems like if it is HF already, we shouldn't have to use them. I can
see a little HF receiver hooked to my computer, and make a little
antenna from what would ordinarily go into my Ethernet port. That
should work, shouldn't it?
