I don't know how many are aware of the current push to implement
Broadband Power Line (BPL) high speed internet connections, but is has
some interesting ramifications.
Perhaps Jim has looked into this.
BPL as I understand it caused a good deal of interference from a bit
above the AM broadcast band to the lower VHF frequencies where it was
tested. The companies pushing BPL claimed they had no interference
(in some carefully selected areas, some with only 10 homes), yet
independent testing showed that they did.
My concerns a Should we as pilots be concerned as to what this can
do to our nav radios? What about an ILS which is on the bottom of the
aviation frequencies.. NDBs which are at the other end of the
spectrum?
