Power Line Adapters interfere with ambulance frequencies

John Petters G3YPZ has a produced a video showing the interference Power Line Adapters (PLA/PLT) can cause on frequencies used by Ambulances and Aircraft Instrument Landing Systems (ILS).

Power Line Telecommunications (PLT) devices such as these are used to transfer data around a house using the high voltage mains electrical wiring. The mains wiring acts as an antenna covering surrounding houses in a smog of radio pollution making it impossible for people to enjoy their favourite radio show.
