RE: Having once lived behind a ham radio guy, I would like to disrupt him.

I believe that Ethernet over Power can be configured to bypass selected frequency bands. This was necessary so that chips could be sold worldwide. So it is probably the case that Ethernet over Power could be configured appropriately. This might have to involve local (national) politics, a battle possibly lost because of the declining ham radio hobby. I said, "believe" because I haven't read the (draft) specification and also don't know what the rules are for equipment sold in the U.K. I doubt that power line interference would disrupt the ability of hams to communicate locally in disaster areas. Of course people who were discouraged by the inability for long distance communication (DX) and gave up the hobby won't be available to help out.

I keep my Wi-Fi turned off except when I have house guests, so I can be pretty certain it's not degrading the sound of my (non-audiophile approved) system. This approach wouldn't work so well, however, if the music required it. Wi-fi, cell phones, and now power line communications have come under attack by people who say they are harmful to health. I wonder what the buzz is as to their relative danger.
