I just read WB4APR message on Solar device HF noise and Han's concurrence. There is an ever growing problem of noise intrusion on many bands that the FCC does not appear to care about. Even if we do all the leg work, RDF'ing the source, and 'giving' the data to the FCC they do nothing.
Now here is where Big-Brother ARRL should stand up and create an open online reporting DB for HAMs to list the specifics of reoccurring HAM Band Noise, but not. After X number of concurrence ARRL legal could give the data to FCC WDC and hope for a resolution.
I've been consulting in the Cleveland area for a over a year during my daily commute my SUV FTM-400 scan stops on any of the FM SAT birds for a 1/4mile either side of the I-271 & I-480/Hwy-422 intersection. It is a solid +S40 FM white noise blanking a wide area of 2meters. Just to the west of this intersection on the hill is a big commercial comm tower on the University Hospitals Home Care Services building too. For the FCC this is easy citation money - if they would ever patrol large city's again.
