73, Terry

I'd like to see the FCC field offices with Twitter accounts operating 24x7.

"Intentional jamming..Check out 3890 Khz right now"

At least for HF, nearly all monitoring (when it's actually done) is done at the Laurel/Columbia site. Calling, twittering, texting, SMSing, posting on blogs, writing, or using carrier pidgeons to communicate with a field office would be a waste of time.

whoopee ::) Steve, my dog likes your dog :-*

Snappy dresser!

I doubt they do any monitoring around here at all unles someone complains - then they use a truck. One or two CB shops around here are scared to death of the field office. They think they listen to the CB channels. When I bought an old used 8-transistor HF amp for my mobile, the guy was so paranoid it wasn't funny even though he knew I had every right to buy it and was hardly going to tell.. Once I added bias and a low pass filter, it turned out to be pretty clean really. has "big ferrite". I want to do band pass filters or some kind of antenna tuner that is also a low pass.
