Got a call from the FCC Thursday and was informed that a neighbor called
them with a complaint that someone or something is causing interference with
their pacemaker. I was asked by the FCC to operate on low power over this
weekend. The party involved is going to have the pacemaker checked out by
their doctor.
I was always under the impression that a microwave oven could cause such a
problem, but never heard of a pacemaker having problems at lower freqs. such
as 144, 220, 440. The FCC is going to be calling back around Monday or
Tuesday as a follow up.
Anyone have any input or ideas on what I can do besides lowering my output
power?
Thanks,
Ace
