Not quite true!
I run 1KW on low bands [75 and 20 meters]. I have a tuner and low pass
filters in line. My station is properly grounded to the service panel
ground/earth rod. This connection is also the equipotential surface for
the operating position.
My station meets ALL FCC requirements.
If a neighbor's tv, phone, stereo, or whatever, picks up my
transmissions the problem is with their equipment and I am NOT
responsible for correcting the situation. I will advise them regarding
what needs to be done at their end and at their expense. The best
demonstration is to invite them into my station and have them witness my
tv, phone, stereo etc., being interference free.
The best demonstration is an RFI free home station.
We, hams, are not responsible for deficiencies in consumer electronics.
That rests with the manufacturer. The next time you buy a stereo read
the Part 15 compliance statement!
Most likely it states, I paraphrase, this equipment MAY receive
interfering signals from near by transmitters. Buyer Beware!
/s/ DD
It should also state that the device may not emit any interfering signals.
