Bravo Joe!  That's thinking with the "glass half full".

The 100mw rule applies only between 540 and 1700 kHz and then only if using an antenna and ground lead no more than 10 feet in length.  At SW frequencies Part 15 requires radiated levels of field strength 

Here's another idea; couple your 150 watt ham rig into the power line through a capacitor.  Once the BPL company installs those bypass capacitors around your pole transformer, the entire power grid could become your transmitting antenna. And incidently, the receiver in nearby BPL repeaters will likely fry in the first 20 milliseconds of your first transmission.  There will be no trace of what caused the problem.  Soon the power company will get tired of replacing repeaters and fold the service as not being reliable.  They will likely leave the transformer bypass capacitors in place rather than spend money to remove them.  Now you will be able to use the power grid as a huge transmitting antenna.
