CB interferencee to tv sets in the 70s and 80s
 

Hello All:

Its always a good call to be a good neighbor in these Interference
Issues. As they can Domino into really stupid and ugly situations.

My neighbor had the cheapest phone system that money could NOT buy, so
my stock legal CB, Ham HF Transceiver, and welding set up took out his
phone system. So I looked over the phone system and could tell it not
the best installation, with phone lines routed all over and unused lines
all over.

I Hired a local Ham who was a phone system installation guy, and 280
dollars later the phone system was fixed not having any interference
problems. Sure I didn't have to do it, but I did and cured the phone
interference problem.

I am sure all have heard about the ridicules Ordinance that Palmdale Ca
is wanted to pass, not allowing any antenna over 6 Ft from the roof.
This was all sparked by a local Ham who appears not to have been a good
neighbor.

Yes, a lot of people recieved interference from cb radios on their tv
sets in the 70s and 80s.

However, despite what was said recently, the majority of these were
NOT caused by CB radios operating with illegal power.

The majority of interference was on tv channel 5 and caused by legal
power CB radios.

Yep, I went thru this myself. I was getting complaints from neighbors,
even though we had cable at the time. A cheap low pass filter from
Lafayette (remember them?) fixed it.
