FCC enforcement website

The FCC enforcement website has changed. I had not checked it in a couple of weeks.
Looks like they are focused on pirate radio now. I did not spend much there yet.
Just thought I'd let you know.

God they really screwed up viewing what happened recently.  You can stop loading the page after a tenth of a second or two and still see what happened recently before it switches view.

If you are too slow you get the dumbed down tonka toy view but you can zoom in on a map and see enforcement items.  That is the only improvement.

Thank God drive-in movie theaters are nearly extinct.  FCC agents would be wearing the wheels off their wagons to shut down those scofflaws for "accidentally" running nearly a half watt of AM.

When the kid was a baby we lived near a Wendy's and Taco Bell. Their order headsets and boards operated in the same range as our baby monitor. I think I still know the menu items from those places in that era.
