In the present controversy regarding digital mode testing on
6 meters, I find myself wondering why there seems to be
little or no concern over the thousands of devices legally sold
and operated daily that operate within the amateur bands and
are subject to little or no regulation. In my area the bands
hardest hit by these intruders are 420 - 450 MHz and 2.4 GHz.
Though we may have Primary status on 2.4 Gig, you may have
little success dealing with interference from wireless computer
devices and the like. There are unregulated devices radiating
all over the low end of 420 - 450 MHz. The 'bottom' of the
'220' band of course was completely lost to (by) us when there
was little or no opposition to 'legal' intruders.
Just curious bout what others in the group think.....
