Florida Man Cited for Causing Harmful Interference to Radio Amateurs
The FCC has issued a Citation and Order to Ruben D. Lopez Jr of Pomona Park, Florida. The Citation, issued April 23, is in response to several complaints about a well pump at Lopez’s residence that was acting as an incidental radiator and causing harmful interference to local radio amateurs.
In July 2010 and February 2011, the FCC received complaints from radio amateurs regarding interference on the MF and HF Amateur Radio bands. Upon investigation, the FCC found that a well pump at Lopez’s residence was causing the interference, and advised Lopez of the complaints and of the rules regarding interference to licensed radio services. The FCC instructed Lopez to resolve any interference.

FCC Rules Against Hams in BPL Decision
The FCC has upheld its Broadband over Power Line rules and rejected an appeal from ARRL, the national association for Amateur Radio, formerly known as the American Radio Relay League.
The commission said its previous decisions regarding BPL strike the right balance between the need to provide Access BPL technology, which has potential implications for broadband and “smart grid” users, while protecting incumbent radio services against harmful interference.
