Are you saying broadband access and HF radiation must necessarily go
together? If so, why?

Good q. I have what can be called broadband 'net access (DSL with 768k
down / 128k up), and I have more trouble with the hets generated by ISDN
(it's a combo ISDN/DSL thing with a splitter) or rather the radiation
from the apparently unshielded ISDN cable from the ISDN NTBA to the
telephone base station than any other "telephone line" related effects.
Something that does radiate heavily, on the other hand, is my (cheap)
Fast Ethernet switch, also via the wiring, followed by my computers.
(OK, *that* stuff is in the same room as my SWL eq't. I think I needn't
mention that I always "pull the plug" on all possible sources of
interference before SWLing - all the computer stuff and the DSL
modem/router.) Powerline Communications has been proven to be
inefficient for any larger number of users and thus is good for inhouse
comm at most. I don't see any good reason to promote it except wanting
to get a number of phone calls and letters from angry hams and SWLs.

I should *really* be drinking less, it seems. (But less than nothing?
*scratching head* [1])

[1] OK, it's a lame old joke, plus I wouldn't even see double even when
drunk, but what the heck.
