If BPL is in this area, it's going to effect me whether I transmit or
not,
if it trashes my receiver.
It's not naive. I just don't care what they think. I think it's a
lousy
system, they approved it, and now they are going to have to live
with the problems that are sure to come up. I'm not going to be
changing my operation any time soon.
===================================
Here in the UK BPL (or PLC =Power Line Communication as it is called
here) is not an issue since ADSL via telphone line) is sufficiently
developed be it not everywhere at a 2Mbits/sec or higher speed (as yet).

I have followed ARRL's involvment in 'fighting BPL' and noticed they
have tested in/around their HQ a Motorola BPL system that apparently
does NOT interfere with HF comms . Other BPL systems are giving a lot
of problems .
So there seem to be purely technical issues with BPL as well.
Also it seems to be very doubtful that BPL will be viable as a cost
effective HS comms system considering other more viable methods like
fibre or community satellite/high power Wifi systems ,the latter
particularly promising for rural communities.
