4. On March 16, 2005, the FCC's Portland Office
received a complaint of interference to amateur radio
frequency 447.325 MHz. On March 18, 2005, an agent
from the Portland Office investigated the allegation
and located the interfering signal emanating from a
motor home owned by Mr. Burnham. Further investigation
revealed that the source of the interfering signal was
a Winegard amplified television antenna, installed on
the roof of the referenced motor home owned by Mr.
Burnham.
5. These Winegard antenna amplifiers have been the
source of radio frequency interference in a number of
cases. As a result of this interference, Winegard has
agreed to replace the defective units at no charge (see
Winegard Internet site
HDTV Antenna, Satellite, Internet, Mobile, Digital, UHF, VHF, RV, HD, Television Manufacturer - Winegard ). Mr. Burnham
will need to contact Winegard at (319) 754-0600 or 800-
856-4350 in Burlington, Iowa to make arrangements for
them to replace the defective unit. Due to the
continuing radio communications interference caused by
the Winegard amplified television antennas,
we request
that Mr. Burnham return the defective Winegard antenna
to the FCC at the address indicated below for testing
after it is replaced.
