I would say that it sounds like he is running outside the law. One thing I
must say is not to approach him. Take a look around your neighbourhood for
CB antennas on houses and see if cutting the coax cable takes him off the
air for a while. If not then you got the wrong place so just try the next
one. He must be quite close to you to do that kind of damage. When you do
find the right place an Ark-welder attached to his cable cranked to full
should then fix the problem for good. I believe in self policing before
going to the feds.

I'm not a CBer, but I'm hoping you folks can help me out. There's someone
who lives near me who I'm guessing is broadcasting with excessive power
(I'm assuming there are regulations concerning that?) Every time he
transmits I pick him up on my TV, radio, cordless phone and computer
speakers and he locks up the cordless mouse on my computer.

To make it works, 99% of the time all he does is whistle, say
"Heeeeeeelllo" or make other weird noises. It gets extremely irritating
having to listen to him.

Is there anything I can do? I've considered seeing if I can find someone
who has a CB I can borrow, find out what channel(s) he's transmitting on,
and ask him politely to knock it off.

Failing that, is there any legal action I can take? Should I report it
he http://www.fcc.gov/eb/AmaCmpl.html or is that just for Ham radio?
