What limitations may the FCC place on an amateur station if its signal causes interference to domestic broadcast reception, assuming that the receivers involved are of good engineering design?

If an amateur station causes interference to a neighbor's well-designed domestic broadcast receiver, the FCC has the authority to declare "quiet hours." This means the amateur must avoid transmitting on the specific frequencies that cause the interference during designated times of the day. The FCC aims to balance the rights of the amateur operator with the rights of the public to receive domestic broadcasts. Therefore, they will not usually force the station to cease operations entirely, nor will they enact blanket bans on all frequencies above or below 30 MHz. The restriction is strictly targeted to specific problem frequencies and specific times of day.
