1. A method for decreasing high frequency (HF) radiation emission from a power line spanning a plurality of utility poles or towers, said method comprising the steps of:
- transmitting a utility power signal over said power line;
transmitting a high frequency communication signal over said power line so as to provide a combined utility and high frequency signal over said power line; and
providing a plurality of inductors disposed along a span of said power line, between each of said poles or towers, such that said high frequency radiation emission from said power line generated by said high frequency communication signal is reduced along said span of said power line where said inductors are maintained.

Abstract
The present invention is directed to a method for decreasing high frequency (HF) radiation emission in a power line. The method involves transmitting a utility power signal over the power line and transmitting a high frequency communication signal over the power line so as to provide a combined utility and high frequency signal over the power line. A plurality of inductors are provided, disposed along the power line.
