We bought the 'industrial' Maytag brand washer and dryer. They both
produce a lot of RFI on HF. However, wash only once or twice a week, but
it does interfer with my HF radio astronomy ventures quite badly, but easy
to detect as its on or off - step function in the RFI.
Where is the FCC???? Those hams who receive QST should read the second
column of the front editorial in the latest QST! It is likely a harbinger
of things to come and in my spin, a written proposal for FCC to continue
'officially' ignoring Part 15, Subpart B (Unintentional Radiators). It
proposes, by the FCC, that receivers are now to bare the worst of
interference - the blame is placed on the receiver, not the Subpart B
device! Sounds like Light Squared heavily influenced the proposed
conclusion of the TAC. If this goes through, I can see a very limited
lifetime for ham radio and one of my other hobbies, radio astronomy.
Do what we have to do to knock this our of the galaxy of the FCC. They're
nuts ! ! ! ! ! !
