Absolutely correct-- however a new person should feel he/she has a resource in the ARRL as well, then they can, and should join!

            I filed an "informal" complaint with the FCC a month ago
            regarding RFI
            emanating from a neighbor's installation of LED Deck Lights
            done back
            in May
            2019.  I did receive one response that a ticket number was
            assigned
            and have
            been regularly checking the status but no further "action"
            yet.  I
            realize
            this may be a fairly long process and may not go anywhere
            but was
            curious if
            anybody here has ever filed a complaint and if so how long
            it took before
            some indication of status was received ??


            A little history:  The interference affects almost the
            entire 2m
            band.  This
            neighbor was initially cooperative and once I found a
            solution (a simple
            combination of Chokes) I bought and gave him all the chokes
            needed for
            the
            entire deck as well as offering to install them myself or at
            least
            help.  A
            reply of "no help needed, I can install myself no problem"
            gave me an
            indication of sincerity ..that was back in July.  These
            lights have
            turned
on at dusk and off at about 1am every single day since May. I politely
            called him again the beginning of Oct reminding him the
            interference was
            still emanating from the lights and I would still install if
            he didn't
            have
the time.  That call ended with an agitated response of "its not my
            problem" and "I don't believe by merely buying these lights
            in any way
            makes
            me responsible for anything", followed by "If they were so
            bad they
            wouldn't
            be sold".  It was clear there was no intention of installing
            anything
            at any
            time and further conversation about the situation would be
            fruitless.
            Left
            with no other solution I filed the informal complaint and
            included a
            summary
            of the issue, timeline of events and links to a couple
            videos showing the
            interference being received as well as one solution to
            remedy it.


            Frustrating to say the least, and sadly, words like
            "cooperation",
            "politeness", "neighborly" and "respect" don't seem to mean
            much these
            days.
