I'm sorry but the cynic is coming out in me. Why is it that we hams
have to spend money to fix the neighbor's appliances we interfere with
AND we have to spend money to fix the neighbor's appliances that
interfere with US? We've all heard stories, or had first hand
experiences, about neighbors who have made a ham's life miserable
with interference complaints to the FCC, possibly having quiet hours
imposed on him. Isn't "what's good for the goose good for the gander"?
I think the neighbor should turn off his TV when we're on the air.
As a minimum the neighbor should be spending HIS money to get his
interfering TV fixed. Not the other way around.
As you can tell I've had my share of complaints, the least of which
was being accused of making the neighbor's windows vibrate! (It was
his wife's dryer).
