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!

What the "ham density" like in the Tri-Cities these days? Moved away
27 years ago (Bay City/Essexville) and not having been a ham then I
was out of touch with such things. I do know that it wasn't too high
a population density overall - perhaps they are targeting low ham
population areas in the testing so they can show a low interference
complaint volume?

I think Carl's on track in his post; the more credible the reports of
interference the more likely they will be taken seriously.
