If it were me, I would be documenting my current RFI environment, using the technique described in both articles...  That way, you know and can document what you have now...  PRIOR to turn on!

Start a log of every person you talk to, by name, include date and time, in addition to what was discussed.

Be friendly, nice, but take notes on everything you say, what was said to you, and what you do.

Read up on Part 15...  Approach is everything, be nice, don't threaten, don't cause a stink, always leave yourself in a position you can defend...

I would also contact the ARRL Labs for some advice as well, prior to talking to anyone... Paul replaced Mike Gruber there, and he seems to be a good fellow to know in these sorts of situations. But do start your documentation process today!

73s and thanks,

Never thought I'd see it here in perpetually cloudy NW PA, but the neighbor across the street is getting some sort of roof mounted solar array installed.....I tried striking up a friendly conversation with the installers about what kind of system it was, but when they heard "ham radio" and "interference", that was the end of the conversation....the one guy said they never had a problem with radio interference before, but when I asked if they ever installed one next to an amateur radio operator, he couldn't say.....soooooo......what should I expect? Hopefully, there will be no issues, but if there is ?!?!?!?!?
