Just found out today listening to a local, reputable radio station that
Bay,
Saginaw and Midland Counties in Michigan are going to be "test sites" for
BPL, at least for Michigan. I don't know when it will be an actual
reality,
as opposed to being in the planning stages, but will keep current with
their
project!

Ryan,

If you have a 6 meter rig that can go mobile, you're set up to
measure/observe
(and report) BPL interference.

heh heh. Yeah, and any ham worth being a ham would have a 6-meter rig that
can go mobile so they can measure/observe (and report) BPL interference.
Right?

IIRC, Ryan has mentioned being active on 6 meters. So there's a good chance he
has such a rig already.

FWIW I haven't run into any documented instances of BPL operating as
high as 50 Mhz yet. The BPL signals I've listened to in the Emmaus PA
ran between 3 Mhz to somewhere just above 22 Mhz. That's pretty narrow
by "broadband standards". If/when they get more users doing who knows
what I suppose the BPL band edges will expand both up & down.
