Thanks for that link, Gary. I knew that the TSA was using some contractors
for some areas, but I'm still not convinced that is the reason they weren't
using TSA radios at the checkpoints. But, I will continue to "monitor" the
situation on my next pass through SFO...

One of the things that troubles me about submitting stuff to RR is that when
you sign up for an account you agree that the submissions become theirs
under RR's copyrights.

> Radioreference is a starting point, but never expect it to be 100%
accurate

 Absolutely - I only use it for general background and always try to confirm
anything myself or from other sources...

Thanks for your efforts on tracking down the DoE system there, Gary. I wish
I had the time to make a tour of southern Nevada for all the interesting
stuff there. I usually only get what I can hear in Las Vegas!

As I said, if there's anything inaccurate in the Fed Files columns, please
don't hesitate to let me know...
