Does broadcasting in amateur radio interfer with AM/FM or other
boardcasting wavelength signals? Neighbours are concerned that if I
put up a 45 foot radio antenna in may backyard that this could
interfer with everyone's elses TV/radio receptions. Any information
out there that can be offered would be much appreciated.


If their equipment is correctly designed and your station and system is
correctly installed, no it will not interfere with their TV or radio
reception.

Unfortunately, manufacturers of televisions like to cut costs so some TVs
are subject to interference even though it is not your fault. Having a 45
foot tower will actually REDUCE the interference potential compared to say a
ground mounted antenna or low dipole. or other compromise antenna setup.

One thing that helps is a lot of people are on cable for TV and so long as
the cable system is in good condition it is relatively immune to
interference.
