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.

Lets see now...3 to 22 Mhz.....80/75, 40, 30, 20, 17 and 15 meters turned
into a wideband wasteland. With plans to expand to 12, 10, and six meters.
Yep...thats a real good thing.

We could all go to 160 and fight the 50/9 QRN most of the year, or 12 and
ten which are dead during the low of the cycle, which we are heading for.

Yep, lots to look forward to.

Dan,

Why don't you be the first to QSY to those bands so we don't have to
listen to your crap on 20 and 75!
