[RFI] Traffic Light RFI; Also Diesel-powered Vehicles; Also Other RFI While On The Road Re: RFI Digest, Vol 100, Issue 6

[Fred Stevens K2FRD]

Kurt, Christian, et al--

No, I have not contacted AZ Corporate Commission (ACC - the Big Gun of AZ regulatory enforcement) nor Arizona Power Authority (APA) nor any other of the equivalent other state regulatory agency nor the FCC regarding AZ's continued generalized RFI problems due to traffic lights, transmission lines, nor anything else which I witness as defective. Again, APS is pretty much the big bully on the block throughout most of the state. I just don't have the time (daily nor in my projected shortened lifespan) to become involved in yet more causes which have involved my life for so many decades.

I DO know that APS needs to survey all its lines for its RFI leakage, likely costly as such a survey would be and currently it must now be for it since it's losing saleable power but I'm not the person to instigate, promote, nor lobby for such a project. I'm just too old and decrepit/diseased to tackle something of this potential magnitude. My days of intense activism are now behind me, I have solved many world problems but my time is past and I'll leave it up to you younger folk to carry on; I just want to enjoy life and pretend I am living in a perfect world (Candide stuff :-D ).

Exception: if I find APS RFI suddenly severely interferes with my personal ham radio, electronics, and otherwise disrupts my finally content and complacent activities, you can bet my Activist/Agitator and very verbal genes will quickly become reactivated. Selfish of me and now univariate attitude on my part, I admit. But it's now time for me to rest.
