I doubt that MSEE or higher is needed. Just a BSEE and some experience in the industry or government divisions. Would want someone with some communications background and familiar with digital and analog modulation schemes and their relative bandwidths. The job seems to be a paperwork job mostly. could be wrong about the whole thing but that is my inference from the job description. As for the pay thta is inline with a BSEE with anywhere from 2 to 10 yrs experience. For the Washington DC area that is adequate pay, considering the cost of living and housing. james |

That's bad PR so they called in all the witnesses and swore them to secrecy about the staggering-around-drunk part of the story.
