"Heeeeeeelllo" or make other weird noises.

They will refuse. It is pointless to politely ask them to stop. He
may become hostile

Well, I figure it couldn't hurt to try; if he does get hostile, he
doesn't know who I am any more than I know who he is.

Failing that, is there any legal action I can take? Should I report
it he http://www.fcc.gov/eb/AmaCmpl.html or is that just for Ham
radio?

Go to somewhere else on the FCC site to complain.

Where elsewhere? That was the only reporting place I found (granted, I
stopped looking after I found it).

why don't you go talk to him face to face and see what you
can work out

Unfortunately I lack the ability to perceive radio waves directly, and
investing in RDF equipment to locate him would not be practical, nor
would knocking on several hundred prospective doors and asking if they're
broadcasting with excessive power.

Other than that, I agree with your basic sentiment.

Don't bother with the FCC, they won't enforce crap. What you do is start a log,
noting everything that happens with this guy, including the day, time and
duration of his transmissions, any contact you make with him, etc. If you can,
record some of the interference. When you have compiled enough evidence, send
him a letter (certified, return-receipt) asking him to stop. If he refuses, talk
to a lawyer or paralegal about filing suit and/or charges under your local
nuisance laws.

Chances are that he lives close, like within a couple hundred feet. If he causes
interference to a cheap portable radio, you can listen while walking up and down
the street, then look for an antenna. If that doesn't work, get in contact with
a local ham club. Someone there will probably be willing to pinpoint the jerk.

Does anyone besides me remember Pres. Clinton signing the bill that
transfered authority to the local police to enforce the cb rules and
regulations? I think it was attatched to the tail of another bill, and it
was one of those all or none deals. If that did indeed happen, then Mr.Jones
can record the activity with his VCR, and call the police while it is going
on so they can see it for themselves. He may have to dig up documentation on
the internet to prove to the police that they do indeed have jurisdiction
over the cb band and it's operators.

I have great faith in our local police. They are great guys. They do their
jobs well. BUT.. They like MOST cops wouldn't know the first thing about
proving the origin of a signal. NOR are they equipped to do it. To
prosecute, they need EVIDENCE! Further, most magistrates I doubt are
educated enough on RF to make a sound ruling in such issues. What they MAY
do, is consider calling upon the likes of a local CB shop (reputable) or a 2
way radio shop to aid in proving such a case. I don't see that happening -
as then you may have them hit with fees for service - falling on the tax
payers expense. Yes, they could call in others, but for the report to be
valid, I'm sure the magistrate would want to see proof positive of
experience. A simple license doesn't mean much to some. So, though that
law - I do believe - was passed, I wouldn't jump for joy in it just yet. I
still say - call the FCC. Chances are, if he is tearing you up that bad,
others are getting it too. Have them also contact the FCC. G.W.

Yll right,
Our police is to busy chasing another loosing cause like getting all the
drug dealers, and Illegal Mexicans.
Like they why fight them , join them you too can be a CBer.
