But still, these are all licensed services, and the FCC is mandated by congress to protect licensed users from unlicensed interference. The law is the law. Somebody is not doing their job as this is allowed to continue proliferating. The state is legally obligated to properly install its traffic signals so that they don't generate interference. The FCC inspectors are legally obligated to check out interference from poorly designed consumer crap. As much money as the government wastes on trivial stuff, enforcing Part 15 would be a drop in the ocean as far as their budget goes. "Listen to a stronger station" doesn't cut it. Evidently, someone in officialdom thinks HF is still worth protecting. Remember, they denied us a real 60m ham band because after 11SE01, the feds decided that frequencies in that vicinity were "essential" for "national security".
