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.

Not all of the BPL "pilot" deployments are using spectrum as high as 6m,
though they want to ultimately use "2-80 MHz" if they had large commercial
deployments of paying customers.

Harmonics, Carl, harmonics. Those pulses sounded awful clicky on the
video. You heard 'em yourself - what do you speculate their harmonic
content is like?

If it can be shown that thew harmonics are a source of RFI as well as
the fundamentals, won't that be another tool to use against BPL?

I mentioned 6 meters because Ryan mentioned his interst in that band.

'BPL - it's not just an HF problem'...
