Typical consumer electronics, computers especially, must be FCC Certified. This means they must face testing to ensure that they do not radiate spectral interference. So what if it's a car? I fail to see why it's magically exempt from this certification requirement once it crosses into potential (demonstrated) problem territory.
Seems to be the theory of some comment here, that the FCC turned a blind eye on EV supposedly messing up AM reception, and they'd rather remove the ability to listen to that frequency band instead of fixing the issue.
My theory is different, and I suspect it is done on purpose to remove the ability for the goyim to listen amateur broadcasters for when the shit will hit the fan.
As a ham (amateur extra) there's credibility IMO to your take. There's also a push right now to take back some premium ham spectrum in the 60m band. 60m (5 mHz) is used by many government agencies due to its global propagation characteristics. Hams get five (5) specific frequencies that we can operate on at 100W (plenty to talk nearly anywhere on that band). FCC is pushing to take back four (4) of the five and give us a 15 kHz contiguous chunk but limited to 9W ERP. The upshot of this is drastic reduction in usability for one very useful "crisis band."
Could just be money driving both this push and the phase-out of AM. Highest bidders have pushed out spectrum users before. But I do wonder if it's not more.
Thanks for that precious additional informations.
