[RFI] Bush and BPL

Hi John, dident recognize you with the new/old call.

The boxes according to the power company guys I talked to are not the 
same ones for reading the meters.  They are bigger square metal units 
mounted on power poles, these are small white things hanging from the 
light standards with antennas hanging under them, unless I was fed 
some incorrect information.  I should take my binoculars out and read 
the lable underneath and take a picture too.  By the way how do the 
meters get the signal to the receivers?  I don't see an antenna 
anywhere on my meter.
