Sec. 97.121  Restricted operation.



    (a) If the operation of an amateur station causes general 

interference to the reception of transmissions from stations operating 

in the domestic broadcast service when receivers of good engineering 

design, including adequate selectivity characteristics, are used to 

receive such transmissions, and this fact is made known to the amateur 

station licensee, the amateur station shall not be operated during the 

hours from 8 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., local time, and on Sunday for the 

additional period from 10:30 a.m. until 1 p.m., local time, upon the 

frequency or frequencies used when the interference is created.

    (b) In general, such steps as may be necessary to minimize 

interference to stations operating in other services may be required 

after investigation by the FCC.
