[RFI] Another Solar Panel RFI System

[Wes Stewart]

 If a ham took the grid down, imagine what a hostile actor could do.  Pointing out a vulnerability shouldn't be a game over, but a wake-up call.

There is one other major standards effort that I didn't mention, and that is the standards work in the immunity of the developing smart grid.  ARRL funded a consultant to do years of work on the working groups, and he and I drafted studies that showed how much immunity was needed to keep the grid from failing from the presence of field strength that would be encountered from fixed amateur stations and from VHF and UHF mobiles of all types. If the smart grid were deployed and amateur radio took it down, it would be game over, so this was critical work.
