Man-Made Noise

The Federal Communications Commission on March 2 7 , 1964 established an Advisory Committee for the Land Mobile Radio Services under the chairmanship of Commissioner Kenneth A. Cox. The Committee was charged with collecting and analyzing all information that has a bearing on the efficiency with which land mobile frequencies are utilized. One of the areas to be explored was the matter of man-made noise and this subject was assigned to Working Group 3 of the Technical Committee. The specific objectives of Working Group were to determine which man-made noise sources were the most potent and the extent to which man-made noise limits reception in the land mobile radio service.
