Re: Hammers interfere with my celectronics said by confused_cit :
What bugs me is that hammers scream inference from BPL. One of my neighbors broadcast over my stereo and computer speakers all the time and the FCC hasn't done anything about it. Double standard.
Double standard, NOT.
Your stereo and computer speakers are almost certainly FCC part "15" Devices.
"(1)This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation."
Your computer speakers and stereo have, and most likely always will, take hind teet to Amateur radio operations.
Most of the devices in American homes today that use or generate RF radiation stand in line behind any and all licensed devices and/or operators. Just the nature of the Part 15 device.
In other words, unless you make nice with the guy who's lighting up your stereo speakers (and if I was that guy, I would be in your house installing RF chokes on stuff, just to be a good neighbor), you're shit out of luck.
But, from the sound of it, all you want to do is piss and moan, so I seriously doubt you've taken a technical approach to fixing your problems...

Oh yeah I had one of the big ego Hams next door to me a few years ago who refused to even consider limiting his damage. I got me a 500 watt linear amp, a set of PDL beams, a D104 power mike turned all the way up and aimed it right at his antenna about 25 ft away. It didn't take long for him to get the message and call a truce. |

Too bad the FCC didn't slap you with a $20,000+ fine. It's not that hard to prove when you're a ham.

So a self-proclaimed proud libertarian conservative is hiding behind the FCC and it's ability to impose fines at the point of a gun? I suggest that you work on the consistency of your arguments.

I'm not a fucking anarchist, so I'll chalk you up to being another anti-libertarian who doesn't know crap about the movement.

Anarchists are against all government. He seems to be implying that my support of FCC law is hypocritical considering my libertarian views. I am not against all Government. Due to the nature of the radio spectrum, some regulation is necessary. I'm a libertarian, not an anarchist...

Now the IRS, THAT'S another story.....

Legally FCC only has jurisdiction over radio transmissions that cross state lines.
Although like most Federal agencies they have usurped illegal power to themselves. |

Wrong. That defense was tried recently with two pirate radio station busts in Texas, and several others before.... unsuccessfully. Read Section 301, they have jurisdiction. |
