LED lamp interference

This will prove to be one of the new issues facing Amateur Radio in the very near future...

LED lamp interference forces IARUMS coordinator to leave role

The latest IARU-R1 Monitoring System newsletter reports LED lamp interference forced Wolf DK2OM to relinquish the role of IARUMS Region 1 Coordinator

The newsletter says his daily monitoring work has, since April 2016, been intentional hampered by interference from a neighbouring LED lamp. It seems the Federal Network Agency, BNetzA Eschborn, refused to take action against the interference.
