Imagine the FCC taking an interest in such a case today!

I was first licensed in 1962 and when in the USAF in 1966 I had the
base commander's permission to operate an electronic entertainment
system repair business from my on base house. My main parts supplier
was in town 15 miles and an expensive long distance call away so I
used CB to talk to the supplier as well as to coordinate with two
partners. A near neighbor said nothing to me but turned in a formal
interference complaint stating I was jamming his TV with my CB. I got
a letter from the FCC and had to get a 2nd class radiotelephone
licensee to investigate and report via a form the FCC supplied. My
equipment checked out OK but upon checking the complainants TV it was
found to be a very old obsolete unit with an IF frequency in the 27
MHz band. I was transmitting directly into his RF chain. I was not
required to do anything and the complainant could suffer the
interference or get a different TV. The 2nd class was a USAF officer
who did the work pro bono as he was a pilot and I was the instrument
trainer operator/instructor he came to for 2 hours per quarter.
