Re: Re: Interference issue

You mention 1510...When I lived in Watertown near the Cushing Sq/Belmont area, 1510 came through on my phone fairly strong (I think this was during their WMRE period), and I think I was at least 5 miles from the tower site. Was/is 1510 the worst culprit  in the Boston area?

When a station has a new facility (new station, or existing station going 
with a new C.P. [construction permit], be it higher or lower or same power 
but from a different site), the station is responsible for solving all 
interference problems within a year after its new 'facility' begins to be 
used.   This also applies to any station which has been off the air for a 
year or more and goes back on with the same facility (such as WKBR back in 
1995).   

    After that first year, the station's only responsibility is to INFORM the 
people with interference problems HOW to solve it, such as tell them the name 
of the filter, and (optional) where you (not the staiton) can buy one.

    Some stations, in their interest in being a 'good neighbor' ,  buy the 
filters in bulk quantity and mail one out to anyone who calls with a 
complaint.     (If 1510 did this, which they might have,  they would have had 
to order a truckload of them!)  Or perhaps a truckload was needed just for 
the first year!

    Sean's parents' problem is likely interference brought on by an unknown 
source, acting in tandem with 1260's signal.   Some of the newer phones 
available these days (many of them) have little or no interference-protecting 
circuitry.
