Judging from the name, the `BPL workaround' and `server', this is an
Internet thing, right?

Sort of like Echolink, but you mirror the spectrum itself rather than
just doing VoIP? If so, it sounds clever, but it's no more a
replacement for HF (you call it a `BPL workaround', after all) than
Echolink is.

Sounds like you ought to get a few of these boards --

(more on it here)

given enough Internet bandwidth, you could put large chunks of the ham
bands online for people to listen to, using any modulation form that
they want, with filters and such defined in software, etc. You could
also let them transmit, but that's a can of worms you may not want to
open.

These boards look way cool. I'm so tempted to get one ...

(Of course, you may already have something similar. Sounds like it
might be right up your alley.)
