It would be interesting to go back in the area and try a "CQ BPL Test" and
see if you can make any QSOs and do a LOT of transmitting at 100 watts in
the test area.  Get some friends and do a relay of operators in the area, so
we get some RF generated for a period of several hours during "prime time."

Might provide some data on the susceptibility of BPL to Amateur
transmitters, not just the emission side affecting our reception...
