My next door neighbor has something in their house that emits RFI starting on 40m and goes down through 75/80m. It's LOUD too. I had to put up a nulling antenna just to get rid of it and hear on those bands again. Been telling them for eight years about it. They're willfully ignorant. FCC will do NOTHING about it, never has despite constant complaints and audio recordings and video recordings of the interference and how much worse it is the closer I get to their home.
I realize it's a funding & enforcement issue --- but for eight years?!
I guess either we have an FCC that looks into these kinds of issues and acutally FINES people for willful/malicious/intentional interference or we don't.
Having said that, I am NOT in favor of disbanding the FCC, but it needs a serious set of reforms that re-purpose/re-focus its mission and gets it away from this internet regulation nonsense (For starters.)
Big bank of florescent grow lights?
“I realize it’s a funding & enforcement issue -— but for eight years?!”
Tell them you hear white supremacist dog whistles encoded in the noise and it keeps you from hearing the LGBT rights broadcast. They’ll be out there tomorrow.
40 and 80? They probably have a imported plasma TV with zero shielding. They throw out enough RF to give the viewer a tan.
