[Elecraft] Waaay OT: A new kind of QRM to be aware of ... warning issued by FCC today

[Gary Memory]

While it sounds dumb when they make such a statement, it is kinda like when
here in the US of A, one of the questions on our yearly income tax forms
is:  Was any of your yearly income obtained illegally (or words to that
affect)?  Now that you have been warned, they have a better handle on what
is required to toss your (biblical term for a donkey here) in jail.

I live in the DC area and as of yesterday, all receivers I own are on and
listening.
