Ham radio operators?

What signals was he interfering with?

But he really was having a battle with the mayor about his radio, maybe he's the wrong guy to ask questions to if the mayor didn't have any authority to tell him what he can do with his radio.
I will ask when he gets home from work.
My neighbor also has a HUGE telescoping antenna but he never uses it. It was screwing with comcasts signal quality according to the comcast guy before I ditched their company for lousy service.

What kind of equipment is good to start with? What is a good quality handheld for field use? We are located in Kalamazoo, are there any instructors in this area?

Hello I'm N8PSE. :wave: If you have a scanner you can hear us on 147.00, 147.040 and sometimes on 147.42 MHz.
You don't need to know Morse code anymore to get a license so that's a plus.

Study some here. (PDF)
You can start with this Technician practices test.
This is the Kalamazoo club.
Focus on studying and when I find out when the next class is I'll be sure to post it here.

I have wide open west now. The only issues I have ever had with them has been comcasts fault.
They showed up one day to disconnect my line and I had to yell at them that I never ordered that, they showed me a customer order to disconnect the line. I said I don't even have them as a company anymore and I never ordered a line disconnect so I don't care what your paper says you're not touching my stuff.
Comcast had to install a business line and when they were done, they cut my WOW line because they figured I wasn't using them anymore because of getting a comcast line. So I had to yell at them about that. Had to have wow come back and reinstall my WOW line. I begged them to charge me for it and send the bill to comcast.
When comcast came to burry the comcast business line they cut the WOW LINE.
It's like they just did that stuff on purpose.
Then had been rid of comcast for several years and still had WOW. Then needed a comcast business line installed again. I told them the horror stories they have caused me and watched everything they did to make sure they didn't sabotage my WOW line like they so enjoy doing.
Comcast has been an absolute headache for me. And if I ever have to get rid of comcasts business line again, I'd say there is a 99% chance they also cut my wow line again.
