[BC] FAA RF rulemaking

[Ron Cole]

They claim the right to regulate any radio source that may interfere with
Aircraft communications.
Have you looked at all the spectrum they have?
Its not simply 108-136 AM they have several other bands for Nav Aids as well
as Radar.

The big complaint that I have head from the FAA for over 25 years if
Receiver Blanketing.  Seems an Aircraft radio tuned to 118 Mhz can't handle
a 100KW FM being with a few miles of the airport.
Now your garden variety $9.95 radio from the local Wal Mart has no problem
but a $2500 Collins or King Aircraft radio cant measure up...
