Absolutely correct-- however a new person should feel he/she has a
resource in the ARRL as well, then they can, and should join!

I filed an "informal" complaint with the FCC a month ago
regarding RFI
emanating from a neighbor's installation of LED Deck Lights
done back
in May
2019. I did receive one response that a ticket number was
assigned
and have
been regularly checking the status but no further "action"
yet. I
realize
this may be a fairly long process and may not go anywhere
but was
curious if
anybody here has ever filed a complaint and if so how long
it took before
some indication of status was received ??
A little history: The interference affects almost the
entire 2m
band. This
neighbor was initially cooperative and once I found a
solution (a simple
combination of Chokes) I bought and gave him all the chokes
needed for
the
entire deck as well as offering to install them myself or at
least
help. A
reply of "no help needed, I can install myself no problem"
gave me an
indication of sincerity ..that was back in July. These
lights have
turned
on at dusk and off at about 1am every single day since May.
I politely
called him again the beginning of Oct reminding him the
interference was
still emanating from the lights and I would still install if
he didn't
have
the time. That call ended with an agitated response of
"its not my
problem" and "I don't believe by merely buying these lights
in any way
makes
me responsible for anything", followed by "If they were so
bad they
wouldn't
be sold". It was clear there was no intention of installing
anything
at any
time and further conversation about the situation would be
fruitless.
Left
with no other solution I filed the informal complaint and
included a
summary
of the issue, timeline of events and links to a couple
videos showing the
interference being received as well as one solution to
remedy it.
Frustrating to say the least, and sadly, words like
"cooperation",
"politeness", "neighborly" and "respect" don't seem to mean
much these
days.
