Actually ... I contacted the owner of the site where the files are located... this was Mike's reply. I posted his reply yesterday... or so I thought. If I did I apologize for the wasted bandwidth..

73's Mike Perryman K5JMP ***************** Hi. It's painful to transfer this stuff to a computer file, and the files are huge at a reasonable resolution (an uncompressed avi version of what you saw is 125 meg). I just did it because I don't think many people will ever see (or notice?) an FCC Police Car. >>>>It was recorded off G4-TechTV, from a program called The Screen Savers.<<<< They will probably replay it at some point. They had recently gone to Washington, and did a lot of stuff at the FCC. TechTV was recently bought out by Comcast, who threw away the TechTV site, so I don't think you'll find it or info on it at their site - but you might? They just showed clipping a couple of inductive gizmos on a fake power line to send/receive the data, showed an old X10 gizmo (I don't know why?), and a circular antenna on a tripod that was picking up emissions (with the emissions shown on a spectrum display from 5 feet away, for a few seconds). About 2.5 minutes total, primarily with Powell talking about the future of BPL in general terms. The testing they talked about for a moment was very vague. The whole thing was vague. I can have our video guy put the whole 1 hour program on a VHS tape if you'd like (easier than finding that part of it). $25 plus shipping for his time to screw around with it (he might have time next week). It would cost A LOT more to put it in a video file (it took two hours to do what you saw).
