Well,
Small government?? It's huge and growing daily!
I don't blame 'small government' I blame POOR GOVERNMENT.
There a several things the federal government should do VERY WELL and they are
NOT doing it.
I won't list the areas they should be doing in a BIG way...most of us know what
they are.
Look how long it took for them to get Glen Baxter off the air??? (I think it's
done...don't here him anymore??)
Anyway...back to using the Orion II to work some DX today.....

any of us are old enough to remember when the FCC had field offices,
onitoring stations, and field engineers who actually came out and
nspected stations. Broadcasters were inspected on a routine basis, and
ams were inspected when monitoring or complaints caused FCC engineers
o suspect there might be a violation.
All that changed with deregulation and "small government" that "got the
overnment off our backs." There are far fewer engineers paying any
ttention at all to these issues, and all the Commissioners are
awyers. Technical education? If you doubt any of this, read their
iographies.
The FCC CANNOT do any enforcement -- it has no money to do it, thanks to
small government." Now, SOME of that field inspection was "busy work,"
ut much of it was not. There are, for example, AM broadcast stations
eriously violating the terms of their licenses by running
mnidirectional antennas when the license requires a directional
ntenna, and/or running more power than their license permits, and the
am bands are full of RF trash generated by consumer equipment that
iolates FCC Rules, even Rules weakened by lobbyists for the spectrum
olluters.
Clean equipment, clean spectrum, compliance with FCC Rules is simply not
priority. FCC priorities are focused on the internet,
elecommunications, telephony, commercial uses of the spectrum, and
ow-towing to so-called Christians who care more about wardrobe
alfunctions than whether poor children have food to eat.
