When you run high frequencies through any wires, you'll get radiation. I suspect the frequencies used for BPL (mhz), combined with the waveforms used, will lead to radiation at a variety of frequencies due to the harmonics. Not really. Depends on their efficiency as an antenna. Consider coax. Cat-5 (UTP) is rendered a lousy antenna by the pairwise twisting. Cogitate as follows: Say a pair is carrying waveform, and length per full twist is l. l is much shorter than wavelength on cable. A section of cable of length l/2 propagates electromagnetic radiation to cancel that of adjacent l/4-length sections. Not to mention the very low-voltage (fractional volt) signal and hign forward impedance. HTH, John |

Sorry, of course you're correct, thanks for clarifying.
I should have said "any power wires", since power lines are not shielded or run in twisted pairs. The HAM radio folks say that the emissions from power wires containing BPL transmissions can be detected up to a mile away.

It's called BBoPL and it's here already. The HAM radio operators are furious about the FCC approving it's use. -- -Graham Remove the 'snails' from my email Why are HAM operators concerned over wired transmissions ? Bill Because the wire in the power line acts like an antenna and radiates spurious signals over a very wide range of frequencies jamming them. -- Tekkie |

Why are HAM operators concerned over wired transmissions ? You can read about it he http://www.arrl.org/tis/info/HTML/plc/index.html I knew of the deployment of signals, but didn't think through the impact or it's seriousness. Happy modeming, Bill |
