[RFI] ARRL to FCC...

[Jim Smith]

Hmm...  If you're in an illegal state would there be any benefit/risk in 
simply reporting your suspicions to the DEA along with documentation 
linking grow op lighting to RFI and your current RFI environment?

Seems to me to be a low risk way of dealing with individual problems. 
Also, if the DEA has a lot of success with this the word may get out 
that grow ops shouldn't use certain lamps.

Maybe teach DEA how to DF these sites themselves?  Could maybe provide 
justification for asking for a search warrant.

And, getting a little further out, maybe they could subpoena the FCC for 
info on all the horrendous RFI complaints which fit the grow op profile 
which they could follow up on.  Hope you didn't hurt yourself when you 
fell off your chair laughing...

Best of luck with your efforts at containing this soon to be viral problem.

73, Jim	VE7FO

I too am wondering how it would be viewed by the DEA during their raids if they find a nearby ham's contact info on the grower's or on multiple grower's contact lists, or if find on documents showing the ham has been assisting with RFI issues.  I know I would not take that chance no matter where I lived.
