The FCC has failed to protect the airwaves by allowing all manner of
crappy electronics to pollute the skies with all manner of buzzes. The
FCC was started to get rid of all the whistles and interference. Since
then the whistles are gone but the buzzing is stronger than ever.


Man you don't know the half of it!

For two months in the summer of 2007 I worked at, managed green EEs, a
EMI certification laboratory. The lab was concerned only with
conducted
emissions. And the junk that passes even Class B acceptance is
frightening!
I had a chance to test some of my own equipment, and while all of it
except
my wife's APAP( sleep apnea breathing maching) was legal under Part
15,
Class B.

And it all wiped out radio reception from below MW to above 20MHz.

The FCC is too interested in selling off spectra to care about
anything else.

And what makes it much worse is the FCC along with the EU countries
now
allow manufacturers to "self certify" and most of this on done by
computer
simulation with very little testing.
