FCC Cites Florida Utility for Interference to Radio Amateur:
The FCC has issued a Citation to Lakeland Electric, a municipally owned utility in Lakeland, Florida, for violating Part 15 rules by interfering with a local radio amateur.

15.5(c) of the FCC rules requires that the operator of an 'incidental radiator' must cease operating the device after an FCC representative notifies the operator that the device is causing harmful interference.

The 'incidental radiator' in this case is overhead power lines. Under an agreement, the ARRL and the FCC cooperate in resolving cases of line noise interference to Amateur Radio licensees. "

Code may be taking a back seat for now,
but the pioneering spirit that put the code
there in the first place is out front of it all.
