[Marlon K. Schafer (509) 982-2181]

Hi All,

I don't think I can send pics to this list so I've pulled them off.  If they 
are important I can forward them directly to anyone that wants/needs them.

A new resident in town has put up about a 40' tower.  On it he has a large 
shoe box shaped antenna.  The antenna has four radiating elements and looks 
to be 20 to 30' long.

Since he's put it up portable phones, EMS radios, and as I recall, some TV 
sets, are not worring correctly.

Unfortunately, local city attempts at contacting this HAM have failed. 
Apparently he's a bit on the "difficult" side.

I have a spectrum analyzer that I can take some readings with, but it's 
about an hour's drive from here and I'd rather not go up there if I don't 
have to.  Does anyone have any ideas what he may be doing?

What is the proccedure the city should use to contact him to eliminate the 
interference he's causing to those around him?  I know the phones have no 
protection but certainly the EMS radios would.  And the HAMs don't need 
people mad at the whole group due to one knot head.

Or, who knows, maybe one of my wifi radios is wigging out and it's not me at 
all.  Though I've never see something like this happen in any of the areas I 
cover.

Contact info for the city is listed below if that helps anyone.

Thanks much!
Marlon

Marlin, here are the pictures of this tower

Joli's phone info   900MHZ
                         FCC ID # G9H2-6928D

Joli's EMS Radio    VHS FM Transceiver
                            FCC ID # ALH29463110

Judy's phone   CHR Input     DC 9V 210mA
                    FCC ID AMWUD39
                    REG #   AMWPHL-22406W4-E

This all the info on the bases of our phones.

Joli states she has a lot of static on here phone, and that some EMS pages 
are not transmitting clearly.
My phone on the other hand just freaks out and starts bleeping and making 
staticky noises (similar to listening to dial up internet connection), 
sometimes I can get it to stop by turning it on and off a couple of times, 
if that does not work I have to unplug it for a while...especially at night.

Let me know, I realize it may be next week as it took me a while to get this 
to you.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Judy
