It's true, It will cover the tv bands up to 80 MHZ except for 74.8-75.3


Gee, that's something to think about, isn't it? I mean ABC, CBS, NBC and
FOX aren't in a big panic about BPL, are they? Why the hell should SWLs
worry more than the networks?

BPL looks like another Y2K crisis, to me.


TV stations aren't concerned (yet) about BPL because the signal levels
needed to receive snow free television are on the order of 50 times higher
than those to receive a listenable signal on a good HF receiver (20uV for
HF, and 1000uV for television). In addition, most homes are now wired for
cable, which is much better shielded than your basic HF antenna.
