Are those the same "imaginary" monitoring stations that
Hollingsworth goes around the country talking about. He claimed
some three years ago that computer upgrades allowed them to do
about 1000 times as many Lines of Bearing samples as had been
previously done.

Of course, those _were_ imaginary back in 1995 when the ARRL
announced the soon to be built new remote monitoring system, and
quoted the FCC saying they would be an improvement,

The plan would close nine separate attended high
frequency monitoring stations, and three additional
monitoring sites within FCC field offices.
Technological advances permit the replacement of
these monitoring stations with a national automated
monitoring network by the summer of 1996, the FCC
said, and "overall, monitoring capacities will be
enhanced." One facility in Laurel/Columbia,
Maryland, will remain as the network central
station.
