Default Mains broadband

The ham bands, as I say are now protected, but not the broadcast bands, and
nor is critical short wave traffic from ships and aircraft, which has caused
problems at the land side stations in recent years. Not every link is done
via satellite you know. I think polluting the rf spectrum as cheap wall
warts, laptop chargers and low energy lamps as well as these thing do will,
one day come back and bite us.

I understand that such a link can be achieved with suitable adaptors

advice/guidance as the best and most economical way to go about it?

Their use was deprecated, particularly by radio hams because of the
interference they chuck out.


They may be disliked, but that doesn't amount to them being deprecated.


That said they don't seem uber-reliable, needing to be powered-off and
on again too often, replacing the cable would be better.


my Devolo kit seems pretty reliable. A re-boot every 6 months or so might
be needed.
