Too bad FCC cant stretch their actions to cover Europe.
Over here the splatter situation is worse then ever.

Hi Rich
While it may be FCC-legal the FCC is taking interest in nearby
distortion
products. It was reported on the ARRL's web page that among the FCC's
recent enforcement actions on the high end of 20 was notices of general
inquiry to several operators for wide signals. It was stated that these
were not official citations for rules violations but the FCC did express
it's interest in what it believed was improper operation and wanted
information regarding the equipment being used.
