[BC] BPL flaws

[CBoone]

"Alleged" but it would cost to much to run BPL to Ma and Pa Kettle....and if
they did, their VHF TV would be shot to hell!BPL is nothing but farce and a
crock.......BTW the low voltage parts of the grid (less than 20KV single
phase or 34.5 3 phase) is exactly where the problem lies...and they have the
worse noise issues anyway (69kv and above hardly have an arc noise
problem....such would burn away eventually...corona hum is the only issue
there!)
