> I don't know how BPL really works in detail In Europe, the RF signal is applied in differential mode between the two power conductors (neutral, which may be grounded in various different ways or not grounded at all) and line 230 V 50 Hz). It stays substantially differential for oh, about 10 m or so! Beyond that, the cables radiate - ALL of the cables. So the field pattern, inside, and even immediately outside, a dwelling, is fearfully complex. This applies, of course, regardless of whether the inhabitants subscribe to the BPL service or not. >but there are a few > basic physical principles that apply regardless: An excellent resumé. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only.
