[FedCom] RE: FCC

[Chris Parris]

Several years ago while in Miami, FL  I do recall hearing the FCC repeater
in 167.0500 MHz in operation, but they were using what sounded like DES
encryption. A friend from the area mentioned that they had been using
encryption for a while. I did not hear it on my last visit to Miami last
August.

And probably 8 or 9 years ago, I did get a chance to see one of the FCC
monitoring vans. Surprisingly it was still carrying a VHF low-band whip on
the back. 41.060 MHz was their low-band allocation, but I never have heard
that in use...
