As we as aspiring _REAL_ Radio Hams communicate in
difficult circumstances without requiring BBC-quality 5 'n' 9
both ways, perhaps we should just take BPL in our stride?

Perhaps it will act as a filter to remove those who are
not _REAL_ Radio Hams but are just CBers-Masquerading-As-Radio-Hams
from the bands?

I came across an article on broadband over power lines (BPL) tests.

I found it reading Slashdot, to give credit where it is due.
My question is whether any hams in the test areas, Cincinnati, Ohio;
Allentown, Pa.; and Manassas, Va. have noted any interference or increase
in noise floors. If so, on what bands? There has been a fair amount of hue
and cry about this, but I have yet to see any reports of results from the
current trials.
