Re: [IRCA] FCC to close field offices

[Patrick Martin <mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx>]

That is probably likely, as the FCC has been downsized for years. One CE stated that he would love to retire and take on the task of policing radio stations and even if the gov gave him a piece of the pie from the fines he could make a nice living. The FCC can easily pay for itself.

Industry (the NAB etc) or the public (ARRL) could conceivably cause a stink although since the current level of non enforcement doesn't cause a revolt, perhaps more deterioration will be accepted quietly.

As one CE stated, now that the cat's are away the mice will play. Expect more stations to stay on full power, and so on. On one hand, it may give DXers a chance to log more stations. If someone complains, who do you you complain tp? The FCC in DC? I doubt they would care.
