[Elecraft] [OT] Street Lamps and RFI

[Don Wilhelm]

Karl,

It might interest them to know if the street lamps (or any other 
devices) create RFI to licensed radio services (Amateur Radio included), 
they must turn those devices off and rectify the problem.
Of course, the FCC would be involved should that happen, but they must 
rectify the RFI problem in any case.

They may not understand why it matters to them until you make a 
complaint to the FCC and they are asked to shut the RFI generators down.

Caution, the enforcement process can take some time, so if you can steer 
them to RFI-free devices, that is the best solution.

I don't have any pointers to RFI-free street lighting.
