Before we get too euphoric about the FCC's performance in this matter, this is 
the text of an email sent to me today by the ham directly affected by this RFI: 

"So this is the third letter, and a visit by agents and there is still no 
action. Going 
on 3 years and the noisy pump is still interfering. Pretty impressive, this FCC 
! "

That is very good news. FCC was never too ready to issue a citation for 
incidental radiators. That's what arrl and I did with Power company here a few 
years ago after extensive testing and results documentation but they fixed all 
but one source and got away with remaining one before FCC issued citation. 
Prior to that CEO letter from FCC went totally ignored and Laura issued an 
order to fix which they responded to except for the one. (reducing to a single 
source allows me to mitigate the problem with MFJ nuller quite well. But this 
is a legal precedent now which really helps future cases I'd think.
