What do you expect? Its a political office. From top to bottom. Only
Technical requirement is in the monitoring section. And damn few of them
left.

But fortunately some who are left in the field offices are damn
good, like the two former field engineers who worked for me in the
San Francisco office.

A good and close friend and colleague, Jim Dailey, was just
appointed Director of the FCC's Office of Homeland Security which
was placed within the FCC's Enforcement Bureau with the mandate to
carry out the homeland security and emergency communication
functions of the Commission and its licensees. That office will
also be responsib;le for the "monitoring and interdiction functions"
as we liked to call it....

Jim is an engineer through and through. I'm glad he got the job
rather than someone else w/o engineering skills.
