Hey Vladdrac! Welcome back! When did you get in?

That's sad news.

Anytime you have alternating or pulsating currents in a line, they will produce electromagnetic radiation. That's essentially how transmitters work.

The radio waves broadcast by electric lines are very low frequency (60hz in the US). They really don't interfere with communications at higher frequencies. Due to the high fequency at which data is transmitted via bpl, the corresponding electromagnet waves will be equally as high.

just now, and this was my first post lol

perhaps the frequencies stay at 60hz, but somehow get boosted by the traffic

How was your trip?

The frequencies at which bpl data are transmitted are much higher than 60hz.

Quote:
BPL systems transmit high frequency digital data over existing electricity distribution wiring. Because the wires are usually not shielded, and are widely spaced, the signals may be radiated, or coupled from the electric wires into amateur receiving antennas causing interference

It was great! but I am still sunburnt.

can those wires even handle that frequency? I feel cancer closing in on us on all fronts

Heh, these days we're already saturated with EM. Besides, one more thing that causes cancer probably won't matter.
