Ahhhh... BPL! Just say no! And file interference reports and more
interference reports and more interference reports... and mebbe even
drop a few cheap buzzers around the base of utility poles. Lean up
against them for hours calling "Breaker 19". Use them as convenient
hiding spots for foxhunt transmitters. Conduct a RACES exercise in
near proximity then file reports with CD authorities about all the
unwarranted and capricious interference.
BPL has to coexist with licensed services on a non-interfering basis
which it is not capable of doing therefore BPL has to go and so it
will. It's a bottom-line losing proposition for the utility companies.

Wireless DSL??? First I've heard of that one. I would say that if
you're hearing it on the FR-200 there's probably a Part 15
violation
going on. It's probably being radiated from the telephone lines and
may be due to an excessively high signal level. Wireless broadband
devices (access points, routers and the like) should be
undetectable
on the FR-200 since they're based at 2.4 GHz or higher.

As soon as I added another yahoo group I stopped
receiving messages from this list.
As to the buzzing from 570kHz-1150kHz and
3mHz-8mHz, Jim, thanks for the reply.
I just discovered yesterday that the wires at the
streetlight nearby had been vandalized, pulled
down, and cut, with water leaking into the entire
assembly. It is a electricution hazard and a fire
hazard. That explains why other residents have
the problem and why it is worse in rain. It has
nmothing to do with DSL, thankfully! However, in
bicycling around with a grundig FR-200, there
definitely are problems with some people who have
wireless DSL covering several homes yet the
"pitch is much higher" and not a "buzzing."

Hi:
I'm sorry I am no help re your problem... but I
will be reading the mail as
I am curious about your EMI situation and the
DSL installation. Does your
phone line come to your house via buried cable
or is an overhead line from
the pole? I have a DSL installation at this
location .... in fact the
outlet for the DSL modem and the modem itself
are located about 1 1/2 ft
from my operating position ..... I experience
no noise from it what so ever
.... however, I will check a little more
closely on the frequencies you
mention. By the way the phone line here comes
in via a buried cable (6
pairs) the local telephone company installed
about 3 or 4 years ago.
Now I did have some noise problem from the
telephone installation about 2
years ago. The distribution within the house
comes from the power
panel. That is they terminate the lines from
outside and distribute lines
within the house from that location. At one
point I had 4 lines terminated
from outside and 5 cables going off to
different locations within the
house. Over the years it became a rats nest of
connections and
wires. Even when the phone company installed
the new underground cable
from the lane the rats nest remained. Finally
I couldn't stand it any more
and I found a couple of 24 place barrier strips
in the junk box and I
mounted them on the wood backing of the power
panel. I then methodically
terminated the incoming lines and the internal
lines to the barrier
strips. I then drew up a schematic with the
termination numbers. I then
cross connected the terminals to effect the
desired distribution. I used a
'LED' test tool to make sure the polarity of
every line showed 'green' at
every telephone jack. Magically the noise
stopped and the terminations
really looked professional. When they came to
install the DSL service the
installer was amazed at the setup .... 'this
can't be our work' , he said!
