UKQRM launches public facing website

Anti man-made interference pressure group, UKQRM, have launched a new public-facing website to help educate and guide the public on issues of QRM that affect their (and our) lives.

Hot-topic at the moment is LED lighting and its ability to destroy Band II and Band III radio reception. UKQRM is indebted to Peter Metcalfe of testing house METECC for allowing the use of their LED investigation report.

Please check out and share the URL with friends, family, work-colleagues, and anyone you chat to http://www.ukqrm.org.uk/

If you are of a technical persuasion and would like to help out with the QRM fight, please feel free to join the UKQRM Yahoo discussion group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/UKQRM/
