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.


It can interfere. However, it doesn't ahve to. A properly grounded set-up
helps quie a bit. If there is some interference you can help to nuke it by
installing low and/or high pass filters. Unless you are running an
amplifier, I won't worry about it too much (when running my amp on HF, I
frequently get into one neighbor's cordless phone no matter what I do). The
ARRL (and others) have a good book on RFI. I suggest you grab a copy.

Take care
