The ARRL better wake up on this.

My Uncle up in Ohio has Uverse in his congested city neighborhood. He cannot 
transmit with more than 100 watts without blanking out the Uverse system at 
several neighbors and his own home.  He only works local 75 SSB and a little 
40M, so he doesn't care about the receiver noise. He can't get on the air 
without knocking all the Uverse systems around his house off the air, so he 
just stopped operating.
