so you now understand the ham and ARRL stance on the subject.
As I said: The last time this topic came up someone posted a link to ARRL approving of a BPL implementation.

Weak...such an utterly weak defense. If you did read that article that I THINK you are referencing to, it was an implementation of BPL that only worked in a laboratory too. ;D

There is no way to use the frequencies BPL wants to use over OPEN RADIATING ANTENNA WIRES (Read: Power distribution lines) in the *real world* without contrived or carefully shielded laboratory environment wrapping about the test bench. I work in several RF labs, everything DOES work and play nice in there until you open the door. *laugh*

Repeat for the common sense differentially abled: There is no way to push a modulated RF signal at 14K+ volts down a wire without it bleeding all over the countryside. And it only takes 35mw under the right circumstances on HF radio bands to pollute the spectrum for EVERYONE. Even the people that have a licensed right to be there. This is not your cable or DSL communications we are talking here where everything is instant, sanitized and clean being delivered *balanced* pair or *coaxial* lines.

While searching out the tables on the ham spectrum allotted by the FCC, pick up some basic reading on radio theory, physics, open air radio signal propagation and then maybe...maybe we will believe a post by you in the future.

My favorite quote from Akira on The Simpsons, "First fill your head with knowledge. *Then* you may break things with it."
