Totally agree, Paul. The appliance lobby must be at least as strong as the
energy (petroindustries) lobbies.
Our Maytag washer/dryer interfers with my radio astronomy efforts on 20.1
MHz, but at least those are very low duty cycle.
Yes, 15.103(d) has been beaten to death in this group. I discovered this
group roughly a year or so ago. However, with all the newbies, I think it
warrants bringing it up on occasion. It always irritates me to look it up
and read it, again, for the umpteenth time! Where is the radio astronomy
lobby - there isn't one. Where is the FCC of old where a "Pink Slip" from
the FCC breathed fear into any licensed amateur radio operator of the time?
I've never gotten one in my (almost) 60 years as a licensed ham, but I
did receive one OO notice as a Novice.
