I find this part in the above hyperlinked page disturbing:

<<<Objective #3: The ARRL opposes legislation that diminishes the rights of federal licensees in favor of unlicensed emitters or encourages the deployment of spectrum-polluting technologies.>>>

It sounds like the manufacturers of hash and buzzie appliances and others are trying to solve the interference problem not by making better products but by changing the law.   It figures.
