I doubt FM systems will be affected, besides most states are now on digital, so 
they won't be of much help, IMHO, unfortunately.

I think we are alone in this battle against the consumer junk that is now 
rampant amongst us, next to our own homes and stations.  The FCC doesn't seem 
to be very interested either, nor do our elected representatives.  It's all 
about commerce and profit, jobs, etc.  Hams are just a pin-prick, nuisance at 
best and of no economic impact on the big picture.
