I wish it was true that you could counter BPL interference with
antenna placement. Well maybe if you move the antenna to the next
county.


That's right. It's not like the BPL noise will be coming from a
single point source which could be nulled out. The noise will be
radiated from the power lines and will be coming from every
direction.

However, we can hope that the alternatives to BPL continue to get
better and cheaper. Or maybe I need to dip my radio in Miracle-2.
I'm sure Joyce and Dave will clue me in.


Yes, there are some Hams that have already documented the the
neighborhood wide broadband noise generated by these BPL systems. The
levels are high enough that it would not surprise me if they are not
already raising the average background noise as this crud propagates
across the country.
