[BARC-List] CB sign on Divinity Ave, Cambridge (Harvard U)

[Derek Scuteri]

Hmmm...

If the premise behind the sign is due to equipment malfunctions caused by interference, maybe this could be a good 
discussion on interference and what it can do?  I occasionally see signs stating blasting, no two way radios used
beyond a certain point.  I have on occasion experienced OTR drivers with many watts of linear amp power have their
CB transmissions blast through other "channels" from side bands, even hearing CB transmissions bleed through
FM radio stations from my portable radio.  In the hospital environment, I've advised many a visitor and patient in the ER
not to use their cell phone because it interferes with various electronic equipment though I've yet to actually see what
the interference does.

  I recently visited a building on Divinity Avenue at Harvard University and
  saw a sign half way up the street saying no CB Radios may be used beyond
  that point.

  I am curious what might be happening in that area that CB transmissions
  would cause a problem.   Is the sign CB-specific, or do they mean any
  transmissions?

  Thanks for any insight.
