Local jurisdictions have NO authority to regulate RFI. That authority belongs
exclusively to the federal government. A zoning change denial that
incorporates potential RFI issues into the decision would not likely stand
judicial scrutiny.
Doesn't mean that you're not right to consider the issue yourself, however.
Most non-type accepted electronic equipment is either covered by Part 15 or not
at all. The latter can be a problem. I once had a neighbor with a whole house
audio system that rather nicely repeated any SSB transmissions. To the
technical minded, it's easy to understand that it wasn't MY fault that his
audio amplifier was acting as a receiver; but he could not understand that.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Medical offices near possible new club site
Our North Okaloosa Amateur Radio Club (NOARC) is about to purchase a small (.3
of an acre) piece of land (mortgage company owned) at a very good price.
There is a MD's office about 100 feet from this location and an Dentist office
about 300 feet from it.
Two of our members have put up the $$ to buy the property. We got to talking
at the after meeting ragchew last night. Every property owner within 300' of
any part of the property will be notified of the public hearing on the zoning
change from R1 to C1.
We wonder if either the Doctor or the Dentist might object, saying our ham
stations could interfere with their equipment?
Any suggestions about how much interference we might get from any of their
equipment? Or how much we might do to their equipment.
Closing on the property is in about 3 weeks. We wonder if we should go visit
the Dentist (and I know him) and the Doctor to determine what kind of equipment
they have and assure them that our radiation will not interfere with them.
This bargain land may not be a bargain if there are issues with either the
Dentist or the Doctor!
We will have a three HF station setup.. all 100W rigs..and a 2 meter//440 base
station.(Maybe an Amp sometime in the future). We'll have a TH11DX, a VHF/UHF
non directional, and a 6 meter beam up on a 70' tower. We'll be able to put
up a couple of wire antennas, one up to 275' the other around 100'.
Pictures of the property are on our website w4aaz.org
comments anyone.
