I realize this is not contest related, but it does touch the FCC thread.....

What is my next step to resolve interference from a local FM station that
just started transmitting and is wiping out my TV channels 5, 6, 7, and 9 as
well as my favorite FM broadcast station?

The intruder is located about 1/4 mile from me and transmits on 87.9 MHz .
My favorite FM station is at 90.1....Of course, it doesn't help that these
TV stations are 60 miles away, but line of sight.  I always had clear
pictures before.  I'm trying to avoid satellite, but may have to go that
route.

I called FCC today and they gave me the answer I heard in the 50's.  It is
the receiving equipment manufacturer's problem.

Pete,
W0RTT
