Well, that's what I was asking. Maybe I was mixing two or three sets of
rules together, but somehow I got the idea that if a radio station operator
was knowingly stomping all over another station's coverage.... it was a
violation of the rules.
F'rinstance... our little 10kw FM was pulling in QSL's pretty regularly
from several towns just shy of Denver. We're transmitting in North Texas!
We also got reports from New Mexico... then Missouri (huh?!?)... and
Kansas??
When it's a late-nighter telling me all about his souped-up SuperTunerIII
with 115dB gain super-brand Yagi at 300' agl... OK, that I can kinda see.
He's looking for me. I can't help that. But when it's an average joe
telling me that his favorite local station is being hashed up or replaced by
mine... I gotta wonder what's up. So we do all the homework, check out all
we can at home and find it all clean and within spec... gotta be ducting, I
suppose. Nothing we're doing should be causing harmful interference to
anybody else.....
I can only prove I am not doing anything intentionally to cause my signal
to drop in on top of somebody else...
Maybe it's a hold over from some other radio service, or maybe I'm reading
the rules to literally when they say
"harmful radiation"... or "intentional interference"...
