[R-390] High Electrical hash noise level

[rbethman]

Steve, Et al,

I guess I got lucky, AND short changed.  The wife and I bought this 
house in the Fall of 1988.

It met ALL the needs we had, and it met *MY* desires.  This area has NO 
covenants, BUT it has NO natural gas.

I'd love to put in gas heat and a gas stove.  BUT, there is NO gas lines 
in this area.  I'd have to get a petition out, and signed by some 
ridiculous number of owners.  They, and I, would ALL have to agree to 
tie in to the line, and pay for that.

It is a "Total Electric" area subdivision that was built beginning in 
1979.  My power panel has a sign-off date showing July 1979.

We are the second owner.

I get other interference.  It got insane for a bit with a cross the 
street neighbor that purchased several LARGE Plasma Screen TVs.  They 
are now gone!

Then again, our City of Manassas, VA, got to be guinea pigs for several 
renditions of the *Notorious* BPL roll outs.  We had to document 
everything, almost in blood, BEFORE we could get the FCC involved.  
Numerous of the Amateur community recorded the "garbage", and a team of 
three or four used their mobile "riceboxes" with spectrum displays and 
video recorders, to make the real HARD case against it.

Kudos to THAT team!
