Sounds to me that the CB'er does not have proper grounding or his
antenna is too low.

Transmitters of any type can create interference. It is not the
responsibility of the CB'er to get rid of the interference as long
as he is being legal.

If you are interfering with emergency equipment it's ALWAYS your
responsibility to fix it. Even if it means stopping your transmitting
altogether. Emergency equipment ALWAYS takes precedence.

Which F.C.C Regulation says that?

I doubt he was causing interference on the whole band. Doesn't the rule specify
frequency only? I will have to take a look.

I looked thru the rules. I couldn't find anything substantial. I have part 97. I
do not have the CB rules. Most indicate that if you are causing harmful
interference to a band on which you are secondary, that you must leave the
frequency. I am not sure, but in this case, he might just be overloading the
front end of the fire radio. Sounds like the guy was attempting to correct the
problem.

Where Part 97 is concerned it does specify that we are secondary on some
bands. On the bands where we are primary we are still to avoid causing
interference any secondary users. We are also to have equipment that will
not cause interference to adjacent bands. If your stuff is operating
properly it's not real likely that you will cause interference to a fire or
police radio (that is also operating properly). HOWEVER, if you are next
door to a fire station and you are interfering with their equipment and
don't do anything about it yourself it is most likely that the FCC will make
a modification to your license reducing your power, operating hours or
operating frequencies. It happens. (No Lancer I don't have specific
examples but pick up some copies of QST.)

You know, I shouldn't have to site a "regulation." It's a no-brainer to
those who will think about it. However it's not just an "FCC rule". It's
illegal to interfere with any kind of emergency communication regardless of
the source or method. If it's "unintentional" you are expected to either
stop or fix the problem. If you need statutes I can find them from all
levels and branches of government....or you can go look them up yourself.
Maybe you should do that, you might learn something.
