I'm the guy that got Riley started in the Power Line Noise business way back
when I moved into this noise infested part of Anniston, Alabama.
Last year he told me "If it wasn't for the ARRL pushing the power line noise
issue I (FCC) wouldn't do a thing about it". Or words similar to that.
I am lucky tho. After YEARS of complaining and writing letters to Public
Service (who also told me to get bent) Ala Power finally assigned a man out
of Birmingham to handle me. And he has tried. But when you do it like
this. Find a problem, report a problem, wait for the fix, wait till I
complain, wait a few more months for various excuses, find the
problem...etc. It is an endless battle.
As for BPL getting hit by us hams. I fully intend to run a KW beacon if it
shows up here.
