DrFoxTheMichiganMenace

A News story that I produced, filmed and edited my self about a guy with a 13KW CB transmitter and a 60 foot antenna that has been demoralizing a Detroit neighborhood for close to 10 years.

On September 1st 2009 Fox2 News Detroit "hijacked" this video and used it as a source for their own story on Dr. Fox.

Since it was broadcast The FCC visited him and asked hi to stop the interference and Fox2's Robin Murdoch contacted the mayors office who promptly sent out a zoning inspector who told him he needed to get a permit. or take it down.

Unless he gets a zoning variance, which is very unlikely a permit is out of the question.

This is a developing story. Too bad I had to graduate & no longer have access to Specs Howards cameras.

VE7OPV do you have any idea WTF you're trying to talk about?

If it was ham a lot of things would be different, 1st you wouldn't be able to pick it up on a CB receiver at all, like we can pick up Dr. Fox on a CB reciever. 2nd He would be licensed which Dr. Fox aint - We checked. 3rd he would be operating within legal parameters and not interfering with /frying any electronics within 1000 yards like he does.

When Dr. Fox Keys his mic it's like lighting & can strike anywhere with unpredictable results:

BEEBE, Ark. – officials are trying to determine what caused over 1,000 blackbirds to die and fall from the sky.

Officials said Saturday that The birds fell over a 1-mile area of Beebe, an aerial survey indicated that no other dead birds were found outside of that area.

Ornithologist Karen Rowe said the birds showed physical trauma & speculated that "the flock could've been hit by lightning" -or DrFox

well if these people would read there electronics most but not all have a label stating that this said devise must except any interference there is no specific interference that it has to except. like in the case of the computer speakers that is a very cheaply made device its going to happen when people have tons of long unshielded speaker wire having no RF chocks.even if he was running way less power than he claims to run the problem can still exist even with a fcc standard radio no amplifier .

Radio Fequency Radiation can be harmful to any living being exposed to it ..we all know well....talking thru cellphones frequently gives you headaches using only a MilliWatt....what do you think it can happen with more than 1500 watts of pure RF??

Paddyotay I don't know why you even responded with a comment. You dont have a clue as to what you are talking about. I am a ham and although most hams would wish a swat team would go after a rogue station. It ain't gonna happen.

@JoeyD714 What killed those birds was something unrelated to what we commonly know the weather is capable of, or anything mankind is capable of.
