Re: [IRCA] DX tests

This is all too true.  For many years, the public and politicians have 
been chanting the "less government is better" mantra.  During the same 
time period, we've seen tremendous growth and changes in 
telecommunications, the internet, digital broadcasting, and more, all of 
which have greatly increased the FCCs workload.  Under the 
circumstances, I find it hard to fault the FCC too much for lax 
enforcement of some of rules.  They're getting squeezed between two 
conflicting forces.  The lack of enforcement activity is a symptom of 
the government's efforts to cut spending.  Ultimately, something has to 
give in cases like that.  In that respect, we as citizens should be 
grateful (I say that somewhat tongue in cheek....).

This isn't to say there haven't been some really dumb decisions made by 
the Commission in recent years. That's a separate issue.
