Here in the wilds of Ky I shoot em with a Weatherby 300 mag.....Instant

I've taken a few with my Savage .222 and a Bushnell 12x scope.


As much as that would please me, I'm sure after my incessant complaints it
wouldn't take them long determining who was to blame. I've just contacted
them for hopefully the final time, mentioning the degradation of my radio
communications due to interference, which will hopefully be construed to my
benefit. We'll see.

This is perhaps the best reason to get a ham license. While I hold an
extra
class, I may use it twice a year during bad weather events. But it
gives you
some clout when dealing with the cable, telephone and power companies.
As station licensed by the FCC you get some minimal level of help from
the
FCC toward solving noise issues.

Plus in my case with the noisy power meter I think my offer to see what

10000AM would do to it helped the chief engineer arrive at the correct
choice. Because I am certain I would have smoked that sucker and kept
somking it until they fiexed it. If you ar lucky and can find who makes
the
light you may be able to find a service or installation manual on line
that
mentions part 15 and your are home free. They hate to have the rules
tossed in their face.

Another option might be, if it is a regular street light on a fragile
aluminim
pole, to get a red neck friend to knock it over about 3:00AM. Easy, way
too
easy to do. Don't ask. Lets just say a Honda CB350 can knock a street
light pole down and suffer minimal, as in hard to find, damage.

Some day if I get my nerve up I might post my imaginary RFI stories
patterned after the BOFH. None of it is true but it is fun to think
about.
