Transmission voltages (34 KV and up) are something else. Those are
never worked hot.

I have a video of a crew working on a 'hot' transmission line of several
hundred thousand volts, using a helicopter. They don't shut down the big
lines unless it's absolutely necessary.

Cecil:

Manufacturer and model #?
Or location of one in South Texas?
Or URL for manufacturer of one?
Outside a sub-station, of course, which will be the requirement for BPL
repeaters, which will also have to be bi-directional.

for reliable electric service.

The power companies have already been using power line carrier repeaters
for many, many years. The repeaters are the bypass, not vice versa.
