[BC] Is Power Line Noise Illegal?...

[Burt I. Weiner]

If you look at the rules regarding Part 15 and specifically, 
"Unintentional Radiators" and depending on the field intensity of the 
interference, the answer may very well be a definite "yes".  Power 
lines can easily fall into the category of Unintentional 
Radiators.  That's really the whole issue surrounding BPL. The power 
lines are supposed to be conductors (of BPL), not radiators.
