I have personally visited 6 of the BPL test areas. Though the specifics varied
from site to site, all emit strong RF noise continuously across many MHz of
spectrum, continuously vs time and across a wide geographical area. BPL noise
was clearly heard along about a mile of overhead lines in a number of cases.
See http://www.arrl.org/tis/info/HTML/plc#video for an eye and earful of what
was found.

On what frequency(s)? A single carrier or broadband white noise wiping
out everything? Have you (Ed) heard BPL yourself from a mobile?
I'm asking because all I've heard in the discussion groups are
generalizations about how bad it is. I'd like to hear some specifics.
