Hi,

No question it needs work, if it were to get to the stage of actually
being considered, it would need lots of work, and it would get that
work...  More than likely the ARRL would become involved, and that would
help a lot.  

As things sit, right now, the ham is in a very bad position, and I see
nothing making it better...  This is an effort to make things better.
The goal is to get things in front of people in the government.  Will
the FCC suddenly see the light and start tracking down RFI sources, not
a chance.  Will things be slightly better if the government is aware
that RFI is becoming a major issue for Emergency Communicators, maybe!
One way guarantees no action, one way might get some help...  I choose
the way that may help, not the guaranteed failure that RFI location is
now.  The FCC does a good job once notified, and once it has a target,
it is getting the enforcement target that is broken.
