Powerline Pessimism

Damn!!! A Couple of days ago I got a call from 9722840600 - 972-284-0600 and was pretty sure the caller was a scam. I’m so sick and tired of promotional calls - I decided to complain to the gov and bitch. Check this out… Gulf Coast Western — the oil drilling company- contacted me We’re contacting me about employment. Apparently I got the job Wow, I really feel dumb. But I think I’ve lost my chance…???

OMFG! This morning I received a message from 972-284-0600 & 9722840600 and I thought the the person calling was a scammer. So I decided to complain and dialed Gulf Coast Western and went nuts. You will never believe it… Gulf Coast Western -an oil corporation- was calling who I interviewed with last month - we’re calling to tell me I got the job! Any advice or help on how I can fix the complaint - and get the job?!!!

Check this Out! 3 hrs ago I received a phone message from 972-284-0600 and for some reason thought the call was a scammer. I'm so sick and tired of promotional calls - I decided to complain to the Gulf Coast Western and complain. You will never believe it... Gulf Coast Western -the oil drilling company- was calling We're contacting me about employment. Apparently I got the job How do I fix this??

Hi all, my friend told me about this forum so i decided to sign up. hopefully i can participate in some lively discussions here! looking forward to talking to you all. :)

Greatings , im new to this forum/blog thing. its a good place full of good info :)

Hello. And Bye.

A million years ago (it seems) I ran a series of tests of AC wiring in both residential and industrial buildings. A few things we learned may be of interest here. First, we too noted that the noise on the powerlines varied dramatically over time. Even in smaller locations we were never able to correlate this noise with any of the local "appliances". Second, and perhaps more interestingly, I seem to recall that we noted a fairly substantial change in both the characteristic impedance of outlets and the overall transfer function between them over the course of a day. This may have as much or more to do with Ed's communications problems than noise. Finally, we found any "automatic" connection between phases could not be counted on. We had success installing bridges between the phases. I seem to recall that a bridge was nothing more than a high voltage ceramic capacitor. It would conduct the high frequency "stuff" around the phase transformers without conducting enough 60 hz to matter. I think you may be able to buy these from the X-10 folks.

A belief that any 50 year old AC wiring is acceptable for high speed data transport is interesting. Much of your AC wiring is likely to be, like the rest of us, made up of a mixture of odd lengths, with tee-and star joints which has probably grown and shrunk over the years. Any circuit probably features a mix of crimp and screw joints. And after 50 years or more carrying a mixture of currents, some high, with heating and cooling, with corroded fuse joints or circuit breaker arced contacts en-route, there remains this belief that such circuits, probably OK for AC, will be just peachy for high speed data. What's wrong with this picture? The power industry has spent many years trying to make PLC (power line carrier) signalling reliable (this is the technology that allows low speed, and I mean really low speed, data transfers possible over high voltage lines) over circuits where joints are way more robust and reliable. Yet, in spite of all the high costs and efforts, this technology remains pretty challenging to use even today. Now we see the industry attempting to send data over domestic wiring at speeds three to four orders of magnitude faster than PLC, and at domestic-level costs. No. Which ever way you look at it, this BPL technology just sounds silly from the get-go.
