You miss the point. I'm interested in showing how this BPL is a two-way
street.

Beacons are legal on 10 meters. 6 meters would also likely be effective.
I'd prefer not using 20 meters for a 40 miles circuit which would require a
considerable signal and also cause that signal to be stronger thousands of
miles away. I'm interested in a band that isn't open and working someone
far enough away to require 50 watts or more. That is how you demonstrate
the two-way possibilities of BPL. Ya keep it all legal.

Daytime 160 or 75 meters would also require a fair amount of power for a 60
mile or so circuit, but you wouldn't generate the e-fields which would
bother the BPL as much (but, on second thought, those power lines are long
and would tend to pick up quite a signal). You have given me another
thought here ... )

You see, if an unlicensed transmitter is going to put some electric field
into my receiver, I simply want to return the favor - with interest.

Jim, all you need is a wet noodle and you can work the world on the
"kiddie band."
