[BC] BPL flaws

[Ron Castro]

Aren't gas lines grounded?  Even if it's determined that they can send RF 
that way, it can still cause a problem.  I have significant noise problems 
from underground power lines that run in front of my house.  PG$E has never 
been able to fix the problem, and now with rotten band conditions, constant 
S-5 noise makes 20-10 meters hard to work.
