Ask any newbie EE grad what makes up a 1.5 GHz clock in his or hers PC. You'll get a reply of 1.5 GHz. But ask them how the square wave is made. Still 1.5 GHz. Daaaaahhhhh........... They are totally
<And, yes, we have an FCC that no longer gives a rip about CFR47, Part 15, That FCC has a program to work with ARRL and the end result has been hundreds of correspondences from the FCC to people or c
If only the FCC enforced their own rules, I would agree with you... There is very little proactive enforcement happening up in this area, and I suspect elsewhere... RFI is rampant, and getting worse,
My response was directed to Jim's post, not Ed's post... I had not seen Eds response when I sent it, I fully agree with Ed in this... We need to be careful in what we ask for... 73, and thanks, Dave
But, please......PLEASE, if you are experiencing problems with a solar power home installation, document it carefully and take it to the ARRL, NOT FCC. FCC will ignore your problem submission. They l

If a complaint clearly involves amateur radio, the FCC won't ignore it; it will send the complaint to Laura Smith, who will, after a brief review to see that it involves amateur radio and appears to
I am quite happy to have the competent staff of the ARRL handle any, and all, of my RFI issues, now and in the future. It gives me, and you the best chance of actually making a difference in this mes

Ed, Just curious if it is possible for a couple of ARRL web pages that list FCC RFI letters and actions to be updated? There is one web page for Part 15 devices (non-power-lines), and one to utilitie
Dave, NK7Z, you hit the nails squarely on the heads in your last email. Further, those of us who are members of ARRL are paying in our dues (or life memberships) what FCC was originally tasked to do,
Hi Dave (W0LEV), Each time I vote, I try my best to take this, (and many other things), into consideration, when selecting who I vote for... The fix is to vote people in charge that can effect the ch
As amateurs, we should very much prefer it the way it is rather than having the FCC be 100% responsible for "enforcing its own rules." We can be assured that if FCC were to 100% take on that task, th
Watch what you wish for, agreed! Those scenarios are very familiar to me. And there are many additional stories to support what it is saying. Imagine being diagnosed with 50 interference sources in t

I tell that story about Texas and every one of my workshops. And it's amazing how often that scenario is what I have to deal with. I totally agree with you Michael Martin RFI Services 240-508-3760 ww
I'll second that from a layman's perspective. During the long COVID experience, I had some pretty bad powerline interference develop. BGE's noise guy for my area identified several sources, and whe
I, for one, very much appreciate that the FCC doesn't have the resources to deal with every RFI problem. To me, it's ironic, and telling of how well ARRL designed its programs related to RFI, that 1.
Yes, and do make the point that it was just as wrong for the FCC inspector to make that call as it was for the first one to say that S9 noise wasn't harmful interference. It drives home the point to
Ed and All on this list: I have been following the various RFI threads over the past week or two as regards solar panel RFI and LED lamp RFI. Let me state up front that I do not have a solar panel
