So says you, but according to www.fcc.gov they ARE all closed.

Read it again....they are UNMANNED and therefore closed to the
public. They are all operated by remote control from
Laurel/Columbia,
MD.

Hey stupid ass, I did read it. THEY ARE ALL
CLOSED, KAPUT, DISMANTLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you comprehend the standard English that the web
is written in ??????????????? Remote Control?
Geeeee, does the remote control use a standard 9 volt
battery??? Take your petty ham disputes to 14313.

Hey stupid ass, dial 202-418-1122 and ask if they have FCC monitoring
facilities up and running and tuning for pirates. Right now.

Toodles.

It's the number of a liquor store.

Bwaaaahaha! As if! YOU either still can't use a touchtone pad or ya
never dialed it or ya think ya can bull**** yer way outta this one.

It's an FCC number alrighty, it's the Crisis Management Center of the
Homeland Security Division of the FCC Enforcement Bureau. Had a nice
chat with the dude, he referred me to Riley for more info.

The monitoring station in Columbia is still there on the map.

See ADC's Howard County, MD map, page 20, grid squares B1, C1,
B2, C2, D2 and C3 (upper left corner). Shown in gov't gray.

Hams have nothing better to do than jam each other on
14313. But 20 meters has been closed the last few days,
so these idiots are on here teasing and trolling. Don't fall
for their crap. Everyone knows it is an established fact
that all the FCC monitoring stations were closed and the
land sold over seven years ago. The FCC has long been
out of the monitoring & enforcement business, especially
now that they have nothing to monitor with. Tomorrow
20 meters will open back up and all these idiots will be
back on 14313 jamming each other. Too bad these trolls
can't get a life.


Please drive to Farm House Lane in Howard County, MD and key up
a couple of K's. I'd love to read the resulting story in the paper.

Try these links from Google that came up when I searched that number:

http://www.fcc.gov/eb/sed/csle.html
http://www.fcc.gov/eb/sed/rfse.html

You must have misdialed.

Those links don't work.


They work here.

Your PC is f*cked and so is your phone.

You have just been vitually PLONKed, troll.

Why do so many of you folks get so excited about denying that
the FCC has a rather sophisticated national spectrum monitoring
system?

When you're a netjammerqrm on 14313, you tend to get
a little worried about the vans in white.

Read my reply to the other stupid ass that has difficulty
comprehending standard English. There are NO MORE
MONITORING STATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The land was sold off by GAO to developers. What you
are confused about are the satellite systems run by other
agencies. It is explained very clearly on the FCC web page.
And when are you going to FINALLY upgrade from that
no code tech license you have?

Dwight -- why do we waste time on these ignoramuses?

For the record - yesterday I had a good conversation with a former
colleague of mine who is one of the folks at Columbia/Laurel.

The remote-controlled HF monitoring system is up and running and used
on a daily basis for investigation of complaints, controlled from
there or from Washington as need be. As has been the case for many
decades, the vast majority of those are non-amateur service related.

Some of the property around each site (mostly the old rhombic
fields) has been sold for uses that will not interfere with the
accuracy of the newer log-periodic DF systems, but enough of each
site is left to do the job properly. There is no need for the old
buildings, many of which date to the WW-II era, and they have been
dismantled.

Enough of this crap.

Actually the three field offices were moved from "downtown"

As you mentioned once before, the *wording* being used here is
what seems to allow the confusion that a number of people are
hanging on to. When they remoted a monitoring station and say
it was "closed" but mean "unmanned", it leaves those who can't
read well with a quote: "The station was closed."

They just ignore or don't see the next sentence that says the
functionality was transfered to a remotely controlled facility.

It's very hard to tell the difference in a single message or two between
the person who just doesn't have all the facts and the person who just
doesn't want to hear the facts. I guess I should have known when I saw the
cross-posted newsgroup.

Hey, Phil. Do they (the FCC) ever let anyone visit their monitoring
facilities? I realize they probably don't want the extent of their
capabilities to become public knowledge, and they certainly don't want to
turn their facilities into a tourist attraction, but I would love an
opportunity to see one of those places? If it is ever done, whom would I
write to check into it? An email response is okay (remove the "NOSPAM" from
my email address).
