The Myth of Radio Spectrum Interference

Posted by michael on from the monsters-and-boogiemen dept.

Selanit writes "Just came across a fascinating article on Salon about a technologist who claims that there is no such thing as "interference" in the radio spectrum. He argues that interference is a symptom of inadequate equipment, not a fact of nature, and that with improved transceivers we could open the spectrum up to high-quality broadcasts by anyone. Reference is made to the GNU Radio Project. Neat stuff." We've posted other stories about this. I wonder if the "color" meme will catch on.

    If I shout across a crowded room, the other people talking could, in a manner of speaking, be called interferrence. However, its not a failure of the sound waves projecting from my mouth, its a failure of the ears on the person across the room. If you had one of those satelite dish looking microphones you could hear me better.

    6 times is not enough. This movie screamed this same message 13 years ago. I have been trying to preach since 1990 that Christian Slater was a genius and that society needs to learn the true value of Pirate Radio broadcast. Now maybe some of you will listen to me.
