[RFI] Solar Panel RFI Awareness At Dayton

[KD7JYK DM09]

"Adding a specific emissions value to the regulations, and a value that 
would be a compromise that most hams won't like at all..."

We already have specific emissions values, I just suggest lower.

"...doesn't require removal of the words "harmful interference"."

Right, a different issue, not related to emissions values already in place.

"In fact adding the specific emissions value to the regulations would 
redefine those words and lock them in to that specific emissions limit 
value."

No change in current regulations with specific emissions values (other 
than lower potential RFI levels), and unrelated to harmful interference 
enforcement.

"So having "Harmful Interference" vague enough to account for these 
differences works better for the most hams than does setting a specific 
emissions limit that will be a compromise between ARRL and the 
commercial industry."

There was no suggestion to separate, or remove any of this, or even 
compromise, just lower the potential of one other thing, with the hope 
it would have a broader affect overall.

Imagine, RFI, being 1/10th, or 1/100th of what it currently is, with no 
other changes, removals, or compromises.  RFI, at a fraction of what it 
is, that might be a good start...

"Why is it so hard to understand that the commercial industry will have 
equal or possibly more influence in new regulation creation than the 
smaller ARRL probably will?"

I don't believe for a moment that just one radio club would have an 
adequate affect on the matter.

If we compare the relative size of the ARRL to the FCC and the entire 
global industry, one which has few abilities, control, enforcement, or 
incentive, another which doesn't even care, the ARRL (more specifically, 
"1.5 staff in the ARRL Lab have managed to be the focal point and do all 
the legwork for the cases that FCC does handles" per Eds April 5th post) 
isn't a large influencing group, not even a few fussy individuals, 
relatively speaking, I dare say, more of a vague memory, if anything at 
all, that someone made a comment about something, before others do as 
they always have, hence, my support of the suggestion of everyone else 
with an interest or concern of the issue, being involved at some level 
that matters, note, however, not in any counterproductive manner at all, 
as suggested by Dave.
