Dear Scott Must be the first example of EMC affecting social relationships!
Can anyone tell me what the rules are in the US and Europe for the use of such powerful PAs? I know that truckers and radio amateurs in the UK sometimes use such powerful PAs when they shouldn't, and create havoc, but when is it OK to use them?
