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

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.

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.
