According to a report on UKQRM the Belkin home networking devices use the spectrum 50-300 MHz and generate significant interference in the 144 MHz Amateur and Amateur Satellite service allocation.

I note the bandplan for home powerline network adaptor extends right out to 200 MHz. I know ARRL managed to get some notches put in for the HF ham bands to reduce the horrendous amount of interference "homeplug" type devices cause.

Does anyone know if ARRL is also attempting to get notches for the Amateur Satellite Service allocation at 144-146, and also the US Amateur Service allocations at 50-54 and 146-148 ?
