[Premium-Rx] Broadband over Powerlines noise measurement

[Brian D. Comer]

If you live in an area where the service is being provided and the noise
is significant keep operating. The interference will be a two way
problem. Either the service will drop out due to overload of any analog
processing before conversion to digital or the data rate will fall while
you are transmitting anything more than QRP.
I do not know anything about the rules for BPL over major power lines
but the in home (homeplug etc.) BPL rules, transmission on the Amateur
bands is not permitted. Under these conditions it would a one way
problem the BPL would suffer and the ham bands would not.

I support Adams idea of collecting data to help document the threat
posed by
BPL.    However, right now this is more of a political than technical
issue,
it seems...

So, if you have two minutes to spare and you're concerned about how
Broadband
over Power Lines will affect you, visit:

Click on the BPL link. This takes you to a ONE-PAGE form that takes
almost
no time to fill out. All you need to provide is your name and e-mail
address, then fill in the "comments" field. About a paragraph is all
that's
needed to convey your opinion on this issue.

All users of shortwave spectrum (government, military, ham, commercial,
even
marine) will suffer horrendous interference if BPL is deployed--even in
a
limited way. Hams and others have occupied this portion of the E-M
spectrum
for a full century in some cases, yet our concerns are falling on deaf
ears
(literally).
