"The FCC is going forward with its plan to allow the r.f. noise floor to rise to unprecedented levels which will, of course adversely affect our hobby."
Mike, I didn't see anything in the article that suggested a rise in the RF noise floor. Current FCC regulations are pretty much in line with international requirements for unintended emissions from electrical and electronic gear. When we have noise emissions problems, they're usually caused by poor enforcement. The article is mainly concerned about the demise of AM radio because of falling revenues and competition from other media, namely FM and the Internet. 73, Brad KV5V _________________ Topband Reflector
