LOL!!! I was going to bring Radio To The Masses the Way It Ought To Be with
carrier current years ago, playing The Good Stuff.....  Can't even remember
what I had in mind at the time as good music.....


    Part 15 is such a joke....

but the OEMs Cheat a whole LOT, when the set that up.

    Hey! That's my line! LOL!!!

| 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.

| have held a 2st Class RadioTelegraph Ticket since I was 18, and a
| 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.

 


Strange.  I've spent most of my career in the power industry and I've never seen
anything in the core of a transmission line other than steel.  Given how hot the
conductors run when operated in overload (the norm in many parts of the
country), I
can't imagine fiber surviving the environment.  The glass itself would, of
course, be
OK but not the sheath.

OTOH, it is getting common for fiber to be run in the shield or lighting wires
strung
at the top of UHV transmission lines.  TVA has done that for decades for SCADA
purposes.  It's also becoming popular to lease shield wire space for
telecommunications fiber.
