![]() Look up FCC rules Part 97.121 among others. I personally know a licensed amateur that was using Approved equipment, who never the less had his operating privlidges restricted in & around his home simply because People called & complained about TVI, & the FCC cited 97.121 in their letter to him as the reason for the restriction. OK. I did, and here it is: S 97.121 (a) If the operation of an amateur station causes general interference to the reception of transmissions from stations operating in the domestic broadcast service when receivers of good engineering design, including adequate selectivity characteristics, are used to receive such transmissions, and this fact is made known to the amateur station licensee, the amateur station shall not be operated during the hours from 8.PM to 10:30PM local time, and on Sunday for the additional period from 10:30AM unti 1PM, local time, upon the frequency or frequencies used when the interference is created. (b) In general, such steps as may be necessary to minimize interference to stations operating in other services may be required after investigation by the FCC. I don't see where the above applies to Internet service providers. They are not licensed stations, per se, anyway. You might also note how cable TV stations are dealt with under similar circumstances. They are always at fault if there is an RFI problem. Ed WB6SAT |
