WHITE HOUSE BUDGET INDICATES CUTS AT FCC
« on: March 19, 2017, 1538 UTC »
"Specifics on the FCC’s budget were not included in a barebones 53-page “skinny budget” that’s typically submitted to Congress by newly sworn-in Presidents. But the blueprint points to cutting the agency’s funding by 9.8% in the fiscal year that begins in October."

That's a "silver lining", at least.

     Well, with today's SDR technology, automation takes over. One office can remotely monitor all monitoring stations, if they aren't already. Where I suspect everyone will feel the pinch is waiting for licensing approvals and renewals. I suspect that will now take longer to do.

The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.
