Ed,

While I greatly appreciate and respect your efforts and those of the rest of the League, I must strongly disagree. It was only last month that a bunch of FCC Field offices were shut down, and it's been 30+ years since the Commission had the budget to hire the staff to enforce its own Rules. You've said as much when you correctly noted that "we have to pick our fights." A handful of the most egregious offenders getting big fines after years of violations doesn't prove otherwise. I'd be interested to see what fraction of those fines are actually collected.

73, Jim K9YC
