Hi;
I suspect I may have similar adventures here since I have heard a few
unusual things on 2 meters with an ht which normally would be safe. Ham
radio is, unfortunately, a much easier hobby if you live in the open
country. Unfortunately, for most blind operators that brings up another set
of problems. A friend had lots of noise and eventually determined it was
caused by the heater in a neighbors fish tank. Its a shame we can't
complain about interference as loudly as those who find a few lines on their
tv sets.
You might find a solution so don't throw in the towel just yet. Are things
significantly quieter when using something other than the vertical?

Hi.
That is unfortunate because it is going to make the HF spectrum worthless
for anything but BPL once these things get into widespread usage. Hmmm, I
wonder if that is why the FCC has been pushing BPL so hard...
Ok, that little leap in logic even made me dizzy.
Anyway, it seems to me that Part 15 doesn't do a very effective job of
protecting licensed services--I think they need to tighten up on those regs
a bit.
