    Arrested my foot. Shame on you for thinking the FCC gives a rat's @$$ or even has the time. Go on 40m every night and shame the guys that act like animals. 73, don't get old

    I hear that Uncle Charlie, under the auspices of Congressperson Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Green New Deal, will be taxing the power emitted from our HAM shacks - the more watts we use the more dollars we lose! Antenna towers and supports won't be excluded - the higher we go the more we owe! :eek:

    I am beginning to think that I must preface everything I say with this, so here goes: Please do not infer any particular political leaning from this question. It is just a question.

    Where did you read this? And are you willing to share?

    The major part of the issue is that it is not an "act".

    It's the real deal, often during the daytime too.................... Jus Sayin

    Amen. Don't want to advertise but it's been going on at 7200 for 5 years, non-stop, every day, and it shifts to 3860 at night. Truly disgusting. Anyhow... this just in:

    FCC ya? Commission staffers were notified Wednesday that if the current continuing resolution lapses without a spending deal in place, the agency will shut down Saturday. “The FCC doesn’t have sufficient funds to delay shutting down, as we did the last time,” an agency spokesman said. Just like during the previous shutdown, the FCC would cease most of its operations.

    Once a little birdie told me that grass was blue and sky was green. I just paid him no mind. :)

    Last minute betting begins:

    Will there be another FCC shutdown or will congress vote to spend a gazillion dollars on a bill they've never read?

    I will donate $1 to save the whales if there's a shutdown.

    Re: Carbon tax, building the wall, facetious issues with one another, health care in the US, discussion about racism in America, freedom of speech, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Green Deal... etc.. etc.. etc..

    We're tolerant of off topic discussion to a certain extent, but let's no go off the rails here please.

    Thanks.

    Thanks for the comments. We did a full update today and finally got the records missing from Feburary 5th. We're thankful for that.

    Closing the thread now because it has drifted.
