[FedCom] FCC spooky contract

[gary]

Nice find. You can't believe the stuff I pull off that fbo website, 
though much of it is as exciting as watching paint dry.

Keeping it on target, here is a radio purchase request for Nellis AFB. I 
hadn't heard of AES-256, but it is just another encryption scheme.

For those not familiar with the Nellis trunk radio system, it is 
actually the radio system from the Nevada Test Site, with Nellis as one 
of the users. IIRC, there is some Clinton era law/executive 
order/whatever regarding federal users sharing trunk radio systems if 
they are co-located.

Nellis is also on another EDACS trunk system shared with the blackworld 
that also uses the range.
