Re: Interference to ham radio operators? Hmph... said by BigMac777:Most Ham Radio operators do not care about there neighbors. All they really care about is talking to Alaska, Hawaii, England or where-ever. If possible I feel they are the ones who should be out in the country side away from everyone and everything. The FEDS should enforce the guidelines for HAM operators but they don't. So the general public has to suffer there signal interferring with there TV's. HAM operators are not your friends period. The FCC does enforce the rules for amateurs, it's called Title 47 Part 97. The reason why your TV or other consumer electronics receives interference is because manufacturers usually don't include the 50 cents worth of parts to prevent RF ingress into components like A/V cables, AC lines, and speaker cables.
Hams are your friends if you talk to them. I'm a ham and have good relations with my neighbors. If I interfere, I fix the problem, regardless if it's their problem under FCC rules. You'll find most hams are the same, although I get the feeling you've never talked to one or met one. |
