One problem that I have encountered is interference from older cordless
phones on the ham bands. There are some that do operate in the 160 meter
band, although they are in the minority. last week I heard two cordless
phones in the 30 meter band! Turns out that it was the 6th harmonic and
both were S-9 signals. 

I don't know what can be done about this situation. I am sure that people
would not willingly junk their phone just because it interferes with a ham.
Has anyone else had experience with this type of interference or know what
the FCC's reaction is? In the last few cases of interference to the amateur
service I have had (caused by commercial transmitters) the FCC wanted us
to solve the problem.
