concerning "close to the power line" can result in a fatal misunderstanding of 
those operating not "close to the power line". The unintended (yet unavoidable) 
RF fields radiated by BPL do not only propagate as "ground waves" but also as 
sky waves via the ionosphere. As there may eventually be hundreds or thousands 
of sources, the sum of the radiated fields - even if only a few milliwatts per 
source - can spoil the HF spectrum at any place in the world, even at 
KH7......and not only "close to the power line".
