The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.

I'd be inclined to say "Huh?" too. Then I read it and realized the writer didn't have a clue what he was talking about and was lumping intentional and unintentional radiators together, either out of sheer ignorance or a desire to sensationalize the matter... something this FCC is not about to do.

The main Part 15 devices the AM broadcasters are most concerned about these days are electric cars, wireless chargers, and other such high power and potentially damaging interference sources.
