This message is to all who answered my inquiry.
First I want to thank you all for having taken the time to do some research on
my problem.
For anyone who might be interested, I learned and did the following:
a.. My first e-mail listed the offending station as transmitting on 87.9. I
had captured this by trying to hear the distorted sound coming from my
television set. The frequency was later repeated after I had sent that e-mail
and also the call sign of the station. It was 89.7, KXWA.
b.. The 87.9 frequency threw some responders off, because it is directly
within channel 6. So I got a few "too bad, Pete, your hosed" type of responses
I would expect from Richard King, K5NA ...BTW, anyone know of his whereabouts?
c.. I got other great comments about filtering.
d.. Doug, W9WI, has a delightful web page (http://ww.w9wi.com) full of
information about FCC and other great amateur radio memorabilia, well worth a
browse. You may have read Doug's response to me taken from his research we
discovered that my QTH is in the "blanketed zone" of this new station.
e.. I telephoned the station manager at KXWA this morning. Today was their
first day on the air. He promised to get back with me on the issue. I will
wait my turn, after they have had a chance to get all their excitement cleared
from kicking off their new adventure. But now, I have a plan, with clear
definition of what steps I need to take.
I want to thank all who responded, and especially thank Doug, W9WI, who dug
deep into FCC regulations and licensing issues so I could proceed in a calm
orderly fashion to resolve the issue.
73 & KB,
