Yes, I do remember Tesla's 'maginfiying transmitter.' That is what he
(Tesla) called it.
He was able to light up light bulbs by transmitting the power through the
air. My tryied that and got it to work in 1947. I tryed it 1955 from my
dad's garage in Dallas. It worked!

The real reason the government is wanting everything in digital is to be
able to control every aspect of our lives. It is easier to do with digital
than analog. Analog signal will get lost in the electrical line noise. With
digital and filters it is easier to pick out a digital signal. That is what
BPL is to be used for. That is all I will say about that topic.

I can remember #47 bulds. Also remember a number 47 vacuum tube.
Wasn't the #47 bulb used as a pilot litght in radios?

If anyone is iterested in going farther with topic, you might start with

There is a lot on the internet about it.

Why bother with someone providing the power to you? If the station goes of
the air, you have no power.
Why not just use the magnetic field of the earth? If it ever quites, we are
all in trouble.
Tesla did this, and it worked.
