If a short wave station is intefering, constantly, with licensed operations
in another part of the world, they are not following international
regulations to the letter. First, SWBC stations may NOT direct their
signals to an area of the world wherein that frequency is assigned to other
uses (I.E. ham radio), according to ITU regulations. The problem comes in
that when they are running millions of watts, the front to back ratio, even
if what would be considered a "great" front to back figure - the reverses
direction still is thousands of watts. Second, and at least in the past;
many countries did not obligate their own stations from followng the rules.
We do NOT have to tolerate such action. If that happens, we have every
right to expect our own FCC and the ITU to make direct complaints to said
countries. They are not always successful, but in many case they have been
able to convince the foreign governments to ineed step in and do something
about the inteference.
That said, we do NOT have to put up with it on the ham bands. Again we have
every right to insist the FCC shut down any amateur operation that would
intefere with assigned amateur bands and other mode operations within them.
It all comes down to "proper operating practices".
