Re: 6-Meter ham bands?

30-50mhz eh? That's right below the ham 6 meter band--an interesting spot to put a service like BPL.

Since that's in the VHF spectrum most communications stuff would be designed to operate within a line of sight, probably with about a watt of power if we're talking about 20 year old cordless phones and toys. And it's not as if people are using such equipment to listen for audible speech (or code) within background noise. Possibly you'd need to be in the same room or very close to have noticeable interference very much like when someone walks into a room with a 2.4ghz router talking on a 2.4ghz cordless phone. (Or maybe you'd hear modemish noises forever more. Maybe.)

30-50mhz might not be a problem. It might even be able to coexist with the VHF stuff that works down there. Certainly it's worth checking into.
