80 is basically useless. 3400 and 4000 I have a Pegged meter WFM signal
from 1380kc station here. I have mini harmonics ever 200kc that
basically makes 80meters unusable Its really annoying and the station
says they had their equipment recertified 2 months ago

Is there a place I can report this in the FCC?

The antenna is about 10 miles from me. And they are running 5kw.

They are planning and have approval for 50KW now and Im worried that
160 and 80 and possibly 40 could me useless.


Thanks

You can simply send a letter to the FCC in Washington DC. However there
might not be anything they can do.
Some years ago a radio station in Marion IN was causing interferance to
amateur radio ops in the area. It seemed that there was a spur that fell
in the middle of the affected ham band. When the FCC inspected the
instalation they measured the spur and determined that it was below the
maximum power limit for such emissions. The result was the hams had to
suffer due to a totally legal emission.
