[RFI] FW: Sweden imposes higher levy on electricity bills for EMC | Southgate Amateur Radio News

[Dave]

Joe,

Am I willing to pay more for a clean RF environment, yes!  I would 
happily pay $600/year for a clean RF spectrum.

The problem is filtering devices stop very little, no matter what the 
quality when used at the receiving site.  Why?  Filtering the RF at the 
receiving end simply does not work in most cases.

If I can't get to the devices causing the issues, then I can't filter 
them, and if I can get to the device, then there is the liability issue 
afterwards...

So to answer your original question, yes, if my bill were to go up, I 
would be fine.  As I mentioned, upthread, fine hell out of the 
offenders, the vendors, and the manufacturers, and the problem would be 
reduced greatly.  Charge them for the location and time involved, plus a 
hefty fine per occurrence.

In general start throwing far more roadblocks to the sale, and use of 
EMI emitting devices then there are currently.

73, and thanks,
Dave (NK7Z)
