BPL and Mobile operation	Reply
by KD5UJX on April 24, 2004	Mail this to a friend!
As I was reading the ARRL letter this evening, and got to wondering. I was reading about this Electric company and how they really don't care about interference to mobiles. I know that RFI in your Shack from power lines is suposed to be fixed by the Power company, so, must they also fix problems with RFI to mobiles? I have a 90 mile commute each day for work. I have 45 minutes to get on the HF rig and make some contacts. However, right in the middle of my drive there is 10 miles that has a S9+ powerline noise. So just about the time I get going, I am shot down by noise. Anybody know this? Thanks and 73 Bill

Contact the power company, some like Progress Energy are very helpful (they even sent their techs to the ARRL class for power companies early last year). He got back and was able to nail a problem I'd had for months in a day. He had fixed everything in a 10 mile radius of me, but did not find the insulator across the street until the class. Very quiet now. Other companies require a letter from RH. One in TX, had their lawyer write RH and tell him a single ham did not a "service" make. RH gave them 30 days to fix it or he would shut down the grid. They fixed it very quickly! :-)
