[Elecraft] RF Noise in the Neighborhood

[pd0psb]

This clearly is PLC Powerline Comminication. Using HF over mains wires for
wideband internet.
Especially the "home use" devices are terrible, called Homeplug.
Unfortunately our globe is flooded with these devices, sneaking through
legislation everywhere.
Since mains wires are not defined as antennas these devices are type
excepted.

Range is approximately 2-28MHz with a couple of notches around the
amateurbands.

Speaking from experience the generated QRM is horrendous,
virtually wiping away shortwave entirely here.
