[BC] BPL flaws

[Ron Castro]

When I get my ham shack remodel finished, I'll probably be motivated.  Now 
that the rain has finally ended, the noise will start back up as the poles 
dry.  Even though the power is underground on my street, it hits a riser and 
goes overhead a block away.  If I could get access to the poles, I would 
bang them with a mallet to find the noise, but they're in peoples back 
yards.

I'll have to re-read that book by Marv Loftness on cleaning up power line 
noise.  I think he has a new one out.
