DESCRIPTION:This presentation discusses the increasing levels of RF ambient
  noise particularly in the VHF and UHF frequency bands. RF ambient noise i
 s the result of a cacophony of signals from the vast electronic world we l
 ive in. The noise floor in many areas has increased by 30-40 dB. This is c
 ausing significant issues for commercial broadcasters\, aviation radio\, m
 arine communications\, land mobile radio\, military\, and other users of t
 he spectrum between 30 and 500 MHz. Measurements and a discussion of the e
 ffects of this increasing noise floor will be presented.\n\nCo-sponsored b
