Hello Jay:

It's nice to have that noise gone out of your ears no doubt. What will you
do with BPL? Is that really gonna happen?


Hello Steveo:

I don't really think so. Its ****ing in the wind technology. Its a add
on goof ball scheme, that getting more attention then BPL has done good.
Anytime you modify a system for something other than it was designed for
your going to run into big problems. Right off the Bat the ARRL is
measuring the RF Signal/Interference levels from BPL and even sueing the
FCC over all this. Look at http:www.arrl.org for more details.

A power grid system has a number of maintenance crew who keep it
running. What are the equipment, installation, training, test equipment,
maintenance costs? And they are going to compete in a home internet
sever business, that get $9.98 a house?

And what about the nut balls that are going to shoot out the BPL
equipment, and then mistake a brand new transformer like I got, for BPL
equipment? Oh man! What about near by interference from a ham or cb
operator, you know some of the boys run pretty impressive steam.

With new fiber optics and who know what else is coming that is new and
will pass high speed electrons even faster that the Fiber Optics pass
photons. Maybe even a wireless system will be put into use.

I found it kind of funny reading some of the material on BPL, kind of
like some of those guys all ready have their mind made up before its all
up and running. Any new design must be tested and under real world
conditions, like noisy transformers, lightening, drunks running into
telephone poles, High Voltage leaking into their equipment, rain, snow
high winds with ice, Ham Radio Mucho Power Inc types, and a bunch of
other things.

If the countries power grids are in bad shape I'd say that even makes
things worst. Remember the power outage in NY City a while back. They
will have state and federal authorities breathing down their necks with
more power outages.

I would list BPL, in with the Edsel, Probation, X wives, ****ing into
the wind, flat spare tires, morse code learning tapes, AOL, Lead Paint,
quick sand, trusting polications, 9th grade european history, losing
your car keys, having nut cake hackers copy your computer data over BPL
to buy them a new car, Ordering new LMR 400 coax and getting date code
1968 Radio Shack RG58C coax, buying that new linear off E-Bay and only
measuring 125 watts out after the guy told you it would do 550 watts on
his Mickey Mouse Dorsey CB'er guy wish watt meter, and much more.

Hello Jay

Oh man you got long winded that time and it got better with every
sentence/paragraph. I hope you're right about the flat spare tire BPL
analogy. It boils down to how much cash can they pocket from it and to hell
with the amateur radio enthusiast complaining about it.

I understand it sounds like a bee hive in your ear.

Hello Steveo:
"Steveo" I understand it sounds like a bee hive in your ear.

Look at: http://www.arrl.org/tis/info/HTML/plc/

Theres all kinds of good stuff there on BPL

Jay in the Mojave

Ok a hole lot more in here in the power line system noise issue.

A local ham that has a rather impressive antenna farm here just down the
raod, and one street over from me, I have early morning coffee at the local
due drop Inn with a few of the boys. So that Dx Frequencies, Ham radio and
CB things can be hashed out. You would have to be there I guess to get the
full jest.

I asked him to listen in on all the ham bands and see if there was any less
noise on the bands, since the the power company fixed my street bad power
transformers. He called me up after coffee section, and invited me over for
a listen in to 20, 15, and 10 meters. He has all these mono beams up on
those bands.

We could hear DX Stations rolling in and around 14.200 Mc, on his older
Yasue FT1000 Radio, with no noise holding up the S-meter. But we did hear
inbetween the stations way off lightening, and a different type of noise you
hear when the band is kind of open. This was great to hear a noise free
radio, and not just mine. So the power company fix really worked great!

We listened in on 15, 10, and 11 meters very quiet, no power line noise. We
now wanted the bands to open up, and let the skip condations and DX to run.

Hi Jay, I don't see anything good about bpl, but I have cable so perhaps
I'm not a good comparison to someone that only has electric lines
someplace.

I will try to *aim* some nasty **** at the bpl as much as I can if it comes
anyplace near me. (i get the feeling i won't be the only one from what i
hear on the air)

I doubt the speed of light will be passed. There is latentcy yes but
nothing is faster.

That power outage was caused by a bad line near Cleveland.
