Abstract
We report sensitive spectrum measurements from 70 to 1500 MHz of the radio interference (RFI) environment at locations in Westford, Massachusetts and Hancock, New Hampshire. These measurements show that below 400 MHz the interference in bands allocated to passive services is often limited by unintentional signals from power lines and part 15 devices
