Man-Made Electromagnetic Noise in Southern California and Southern Nevada

A brief history of man-made noise interference is provided. A series of examples of this type of radio interference points out the generally insidious¿or in a few instances the somewhat ridiculous¿nature and effects of man-made noise. It is demonstrated how the Pacific Missile Range and the Western Area Frequency Coordinator mitigate man-made noise by the use of area controls, engineering, testing, monitoring, training, and frequency management.
