MAINE:
ME
ST T. 17 s 3962
s
3962. Regulation of radio waves; disturbing
reception
It shall be unlawful to use any radio receiving set which radiates radio
waves between 200 meters wave length and 550 meters wave length which causes
interference with the reception of any other radio receiving set.
Whoever knowingly, maliciously or wantonly by any means unreasonably
disturbs the reception of radio waves used for radiotelephony, between 200
meters wave length and 550 meters wave length, shall be punished by a fine of
not less than $10 nor more than $50, to be recovered by complaint in the
District Court.
Comment:
This is a curious little law whose purpose seems to be to protect the AM broadcast band from interference from radio receivers. I have seen no reported case of its use.
