Notice how the radio becomes nothing but static? Realize that the power lines are NOT shielded and therefore will radiate the BPL signals all over the place.

It basically affects all receivers (including those in 2 way radios.) The signals from BPL are so powerful, they make receiving any signals nearly impossible unless transmitter is much more powerful (we are talking close to a kilowatt just to start!) Right now, most public service and safety users in the 30-40Mhz area have transmitters in the 300 watt range. Get a fire truck or police car close to BPL lines and forget about that call from dispatch. All SWL (short wave listening) would be gone and even parts of the AM radio band would be useless.

The line itself is NOT shielded so the BPL signals not only travel on the lines but radiate out.
