Re: See... said by ctceo:
... why is it that the only documents the ARRL can come up with about "Interference Related" problems are in countries where the wiring is tired and broken, and just about every insulator has failed???
Where does one go to find such tired wiring and failed insulators in the European electrical distribution network, a network in which the use of overhead, open wire lines is a rarity?
Look at some of the countries where problems have been reported:
•The Netherlands where 100% of the LV & MV networks are underground.
•The UK where 81% of the LV & MV networks are underground.
•Germany where 75% of the LV and 60% of the MV networks are underground.
Ref.: »europa.eu.int/comm/energy/electr···ding.pdf
Those are substantially higher rates of undergrounding than one will find for any comparably sized and populated area in the US. Far from being tired, the distribution infrastructure in at least some of the countries where BPL has been tried and failed is far better suited to the deployment of BPL than in the US.
The totality of the record demonstrates that BPL has caused problems everywhere it's been tried. Where's a counter example of a single success story?

Simple answer, Because it causes problems there we must stop it before it causes problems here.
BPL has been tried in places where the infrastructure is more favorably disposed to its success than here and it has still caused problems there.
Yes, maybe that is a fact that should be taken into consideration. |
