Re: Take advantage of interference! (just a thought)

This may be stupid, but why not figure out away to turn this interference into usable broadcast? - Use the power grid as a broadcast antena...

Good observation. This concept has been used in the past to broadcast AM signals and is called Carrier Current. RF energy is coupled to the power lines and it radiates it out to listeners.

There are probably some unlicensed stations still using this technique today. At the very least, it disproves the claims by BPL proponents that power lines don't radiate radio signals.
