older people whose TV’s are so important to them, and the interference keeps them from enjoying television,” St. Clair said.
The television set in the restaurant has a booster on its aerial, but there are still times when none of the stations can be watched according to St. Clair. “There is a lot of interference on the weekends that looks sometimes like there are waves in the channels,” said St. Clair. “The interference had a pattern like someone was using something and shutting it off.”
St. Clair is also concerned about her business. “When people pay for a color TV in their motel room, they get irritated when they can’t watch,” St. Clair said. “We might as well turn the town over to industry if people can’t live here with some comforts.”
St. Clair is hopeful that the FCC will send someone to Washington to check on the interference and its possible sources. “Maybe people are using faulty equipment or newer equipment that creates sound waves, and they can get filters for the tools,” St. Clair said. “Some people have faulty electrical wiring, and that would be Potomac Edison’s responsibility.”
The petition will be sent to the FCC within the next week, and anyone who wishes to sign may do so at the Black Kettle Restaurant during its regular business hours.
