Title: WHITE HOUSE BUDGET INDICATES CUTS AT FCC
Post by: ChrisSmolinski 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.
