When will the FCC agents go through towns to conduct sweeps of dirty powerline transformers, etc. that seem to wipe out the AM radio band in most every town or city?

My first encounter with them was in the middle of a gravel crowned road on a Corps of Engineers Dam. I wasn't going to move and they weren't either They then went after a CB'er who had just popped up in the parking lot running a jigawatt's of power from dc to daylight. He'd just got there, just before I rolled out They'd been circling that lake for a good two hours before the CB'er got there. Some extra-Bunny perception to help them along?

BTW,I saw my first SDR with the agent in the back of the SUV that day. He had a screen, you could see through the tint, and his seat was rigged at an angle to make it easier for the agents to df the source from. I sent a pic of it to Al, he said ,"It needs knobs".

My sixth grade year was the first year we had "Educational TV" The lady who hosted the shows was an adopted friend's mother. She was a curvy sort of woman, but she didn't mind us hanging around the studio's during the summer, she felt like it kept us out of trouble. It was across the highway from my house, set up in an old school. She looked a lot like the blonde in the B-52's, but a decade earlier

When we got to Jr. High, it came with a full sized, state of the art, video studio. We were busted for making porn inside of the first seven weeks. This girl we knew had 'bloomed' a little early and liked to show off what she had. Her brother who was one of those guy's who drove himself to school long before we met him, but was in the same grade as us,thought it was hilarious. We were just hoping he didn't stomp us for fun?

We were sad to see him go a couple of month's later when he got arrested for some sort of felonious nonsense and was told it was Vietnam or prison. He wasn't in the military for long. Nixon started the troop draw-down in '72 and Timbo came home with some nice sized bags of bud's and seeds for his buddies.

That stuff still grows up there if you know where to look. And the best hollow to look for it in is still "Hogpen Holler".

Screw this.  The FCC is nothing but a bunch of bullies.  They care nothing for free speech, due process, or the doctrine of "innocent until proven guilty".  That's not to mention their disdain for people's property rights.  Well....kiss my Bill of Rights, guys!
