Roger G3XBM's (Mainly) Amateur Radio Blog: Broadband interference?

8 Jun 2017

If you were thinking of complaining to OFCOM about broadband noise you may want to think again.

See http://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2017/06/ofcom-finds-no-evidence-claims-interference-vdsl-broadband.html

The fact that our HF noise floor is gradually getting worse is of little concern to OFCOM. Only money matters sadly. In the UK the amateur radio service is unimportant.

Coincidence? Ignorance? Bad reporting? BS?

I run most mornings, usually with BBC R4 FM in my left ear. The amount of interference I hear as I pass the BT (and Virgin) cabinets and run, not always very close to telephone lines is frighteningly high.; Thu Jun 08, 10:10:00 am GMT+1

Come here Ofcom and do your tests.
