So you don't really know what you're talking about when you talk about FCC "chuckling" over some comments. Things are a bit different now. Internet access to ALL government is faster than overnight express mail. FCC has to accept ALL filings. By law. It's always been that way, Len. Not before 1934. :-) [ chuckle, chuckle ] The correspondence on hot- ticket Dockets is enormous compared to more than a half century ago. Fun fact: Back about 1964 - a bit more than a dozen years after 1951, and more than 25 years before "the internet went public", the proposed changes that would come to be known as "incentive licensing" caused FCC to receive over 6000 comments. Back then the US amateur population was less than half what it is today, and practically all of them went by US mail. Did the FCC "chuckle" over them? Did you work for FCC in 1964, Jim-Jim? Did you see all those "6000" comments? No - but they existed, nonetheless. [ chuckle, chuckle ] In 1964 I was Chief Engineer at Birtcher Instruments Division and had received my Army Honorable Discharge four years before that. In other words, you had nothing to do with FCC then, either. |
