[Lowfer] Smoke alarm woes...

[pbunn]

Had a problem on 6 meters and a not so friendly neighbor called the FCC. They came to my house and looked things over and told the neighbor to buy a better VCR. Neighbor never spoke to me again. It is not your problem and don't accept it as yours.

The neighbor has been a real a**hole even before this came up ... they complained to the FCC and the FCC asked what I was running - long story short the FCC gave me the green light and told the neighbor to go to Radioshack and buy some filers :-)
