I'd like to bash the heads of anyone that wants to get their BPL crap within an ITU Region of MY Ham Station. Just fire up a few nice 1.5kw transmissions of SSTV or RTTY around the BPL frequencies in use. Install a few dual winding toroids on your service entrance cables, and modulate RF onto the power companies own lines, just like carrier current broadcasting, use the Power CO's lines as YOUR antenna. A nice 10,000 foot random wire antenna. All of which are illegal. Ron WB0ALI Probably could work EME on 160m AM with that setup. But BPL interference to licensed Ham operations are perfectly legal?? I would love to see each BPL engineer even come close to passing the test for a valid Amateur radio license, and lets add the Morse requirements back in, just for fun, at a mere 13 WPM, or better 20 WPM. Let em' flail in their own $#!t for a while BPL would be Dead on Arrival because of their engineers being completely incompetent of passing a basic FCC exam, that the subjects of their interference have been already subject to. Ron, you have an Advanced class Ham ticket as I do, why would anyone bother to seek the legal license anymore if unlicensed operators were to take over complete control of our ham bands. I did however get to put a 640AM Carrier Current station back on the air at West Chester University, back in 1989. Quite amazing what distance that 1 watt modulated onto the dormitory power lines can cover. 73, George-KA3SGM -- "Lithium is no longer available on credit"
