Listening to short wave radio on different frequencies would be the easiest way I think. Even AM radio might do. For more engineering like approach you would need spectrum analyzer and directional antennas to see which direction radiation works most intensively. I'm not an expert on this just pick up about this here and there. > thanks > Stuart > > > On Sun, Dec 28, 2008 at 8:03 AM, Leslie Newell > <[email protected]> wrote: >> That is distributing broadband over the power line network.

It's the same thing, local or over longer lines. House power line wires are very long antennas transmitting all kinds of signals. Power meter won't block as much as you think, nor does it matter as shortwaves go through the walls. It's not only amateur radio that's affected. "Digital radiation" potentially saturates other wireless devices too. >> >> Les -- Rafael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
