Title: FCC HFDF Center in Columbia, MD
Post by: DimBulb on March 29, 2013, 2358 UTC

   After seeing an HFU reference to the FCC's HFDF (high-frequency direction finding) center in Columbia, MD I did some surfing and came up with lots of interesting hits, here's a couple:

   - Bid request for new software (08/09/10):

     https://www.fbo.gov/utils/view?id=ada84d91af576c661b4941fecd01abf5

   - Bid request for a new system to link receiving sites to the main site - includes a site list (08/30/11):

     http://transition.fcc.gov/omd/contracts/pre-award/RFQ11000024.pdf

   There was also a bid request for a new building to replace the trailers that were being used to house the HFDF center.

Oh, just great. And, where do they plan to put Captain Ron?

Government Boondoggle.

All FCC Agents should be fired,
and forced to find honest work.

I think that software needs a "back door" ;D

Peace!
