[GCARC] RFI Issues With A Neighbor

[Vinnie Sallustio]

What size TV does she have? If it is a smaller TV, you may be better off buying her a new one. They are dirt cheap now. That is the fastest course of action.

Your other course of action is to file a complaint. By the time the FCC acts on it, you will be waiting a long time and have an angry neighbor.

Subject: [GCARC] RFI Issues With A Neighbor

I am experiencing some unwanted RFI, plasma TV type, on 80m from my next
door neighbor. I've narrowed it down to their house, and a location in the
house by using a shortwave radio tuned to 3.820mhz AM, that also has a
signal strength meter. So i wrote them a letter, explained the situation,
and asked them to call me. She called me, I further explained the
situation, and setup a time to come over her home to find and hopefully
cure the problem. The time came, and I got no response to phone calls and
text messages. I finally got a text back saying that she contacted PECO and
they would contact me with their findings. So I called peco myself and they
put in an emergency service order and would contact me with an update.
That's where we are at right now. My question is, there is a pamphlet from
the ARRL on RFI that clubs give to neighbors for this situation and do you
guys have something like that? And if she still doesn't cooperate, where do
I go from here? Contact the ARRL, then the FCC? Just trying to be ahead of
the situation. I have documented every interaction and attempted
interaction with her and the power utility. This noise makes a lot of 80m
inoperable with a noise floor of over 30db over s9...

Thank You and Happy New Year
