Interference and complaints WILL eventually get the FCC involved at a level
that I wouldn't have ever believed .
As recently as maybe even today , the FCC has had field engineers in
Coffeyville , Kansas , right across the state line from me by about a mile .
They have rotated engineers in there all summer long .
It is due to one amateur radio operator complaining long enough and loud
enough , about regular power line hash . Not to be confused with BPL ,
because we don't have it here .
They have been forcing the City owned utility to repair noises around his
home all summer long . The issue still wasn't resolved as of a week ago and
they were scheduled to be in here again beginning Monday of this week .
I have not talked to the ham involved to see if they are or were indeed back
, but they are taking it VERY seriously .
If they take power line noise for one ham that seriously , I would hate to
think what length they would go to with numerous complaints about a part 15
station causing interference to a commercial station .
So far no visits here from them on my part 15 . *SMILE*
