Regarding the RFI we all encounter.:

If nothing is done, nothing will happen.

Document document and document.

Make sure your station is in the clear (that is, up to FCC ham radio specs) when the sniveling from the neighbors starts.

Send all of your docs to at least two and if you can three officers in the FCC regarding your grief.

If nothing happens in a say thirty days,s resend the docs.

If the RFI does not abate, send your docs by snail mail to the same addresses as you did the other two.

In the government, when they get a letter they can hold in their hand without having to print it themselves, this is a sign of great earnest on the part of the sender.

Remind them this is an issue (for you) that will not go awway as you are not the the violator, the place/generator of the offending noise source is.

And, as always, be nice the the hand your reaching out to for help from.

Persistence has in the long run, paid off for me with the few RFI issues I have experienced.

This has been going on since 2010. The FCC issued a citation almost exactly a year ago. Three years from start of complaints to issue of the citation is warp speed for the FCC! What has happened
in the year since the citation? Nothing that I can find!

Given we are going to take a negative view of this, finding nothing
positive at all in the fact the FCC actually did something, and imply
nothing else will happen, we can only hope that you get to see
something.
