[Antennas] Willful Interference

Fri, 22 Mar 2002 21:27:52 -0800

FCC R&R clearly states it is illegal to interfere with licensed radio
services & are willing to take 'em down. Slow in visible response, perhaps,
but not to covert preemptive action, given full evidentiary.  Record it,
Document it, Don't Comment on the tape...that's for a written report. Submit
evidence to ARRL. There are channels to follow if you want action. Keep a
copy of evidence. If you DF don't confront ... that's up to Law Enforcement.
