[RFI] LED lighting

[Hare, Ed W1RFI]

I would think yes, but the hard part is convincing the FCC that they need to worry about a hypothetical scenario.  The EMCom communications generally are in theory designed to accommodate existing regulatory noise levels, so the FCC would claim that the EMCOM communications systems are robust enough that they should function anyway.

FCC has been very clear about their interpretation for harmful interference to Amateur Radio and any justification we give them would have to be based on Amateur Radio, not other services.

"find a place to operate, just not within 100 feet of the bulbs.  Is that harmful interference, or not?  So far, I'd have a hard time imagining convincing the FCC that it is."

What about emergency services trying to use radios at a massive tour/school bus wreck in the middle of an intersection?  Harmful then?
