how true. A CBer in my neighborhood has refused to co-operate with
neighbors and is now the subject of a lawsuit. Granted he is running
power (freely admits it) and likes to tweak the tails of the neighbors.
But then I had some problems with neighbors closer to me and worked with
them to clear up most of the problems. They still have some interference
but are willing to accept it because they know I would address the
problems if they asked. I don't have door knocks on my weekends. I think
co-operation and even loaning equipment makes acceptance of the hobby
far eaiser and the neighbors a lot happier and friendler.
Now if there was a 200 unit apartment next door .... well I might not be
so inclined. But then I probably wouldn't chose to live there in the first
place.
