| Yea well, I can understand that situation...also No Power company is
| using VHF to do RF over Powerline Transmissions as it wouldn't propigate
| down the Line very far in the First Place, and in the Second Place,
| this type of RF Transmission "Carrier Current" has been around for YEARS,
| as when I was a very young Lad, I was Chief Engineer, for a Student
| Radio Station at my College, that used Carrier Current Transmission to
| all the Dorms. Typically Carrier Current Transmissions are LF/MF/HF
| Frequency Transmissions. There recent incarnation is IP over PowerLines
| and that uses a LOT of the spectrum and ius supposed to be a Part 15
| Operation, but the OEMs Cheat a whole LOT, when the set that up.

| 1st Class RadioTelegraph with Radar and Aircraft Endorsement since
| I was 23. Now I am just OLD and Fat....

Given that most power lines have fiber in the core the power company could
but I have no idea if the would.
