See my article in the March issue of CQ magazine, or visit:

If it were me, I would be documenting my current RFI environment, using the
technique described in both articles...  That way, you know and can document
what you have now...  PRIOR to turn on!

Start a log of every person you talk to, by name, include date and time, in
addition to what was discussed.

Be friendly, nice, but take notes on everything you say, what was said to
you, and what you do.

Read up on Part 15...  Approach is everything, be nice, don't threaten,
don't cause a stink, always leave yourself in a position you can defend...

I would also contact the ARRL Labs for some advice as well, prior to talking
to anyone... Paul replaced Mike Gruber there, and he seems to be 
a good fellow to know in these sorts of situations.   But do start your 
documentation process today!

73s and thanks,
