[Elecraft] BPL

[Rich Lentz]

One problem that I have not seen discussed is that for the power
distributors to use BPL they will need to put bypass capacitors around =
each
and every transformer.  This is needed as the voltage reducing
(distribution) transformer, the one on the pole near your house or in =
your
or your neighbors back yard if you have "underground" service, acts as a =
RF
Choke and shunts out/attenuates the BPL signal.  The bypass cap will not
only allow the BPL signal to go around the transformer BUT will also =
pass on
any/all RFI from bad transformers, insulators, arcing connections, noisy
street lights, industrial equipment, etc. =20

Just imagine what that is going to do to your RFI problems.
