[FedCom] FCC lookup

Can't say.  I generally use google to search for FCC ID#, ULS, FCC 
license, et cetera, then go to the first relevant FCC page, not a 
re-direct, and not someone else linking to it.  I wind up on the FCC 
site, advanced searches, ULS, equipment authorization, office of 
engineering, et cetera.  Most don't work most of the time, and haven't 
since last year, to the point of I generally think of all of it as a 
thing of the past.

Maybe I've just got bad timing, and they are always doing housekeeping 
when I'm on, but I'd think industry is 24/7 globally, and the site would 
need to work right, the first time, always.

In several instances, when digging around, I've been left with the 
impression they don't host, or control their own site, or databases, and 
some third party is having hosting/cloud issues.  If just one of a dozen 
corporations, or foreign sites is down, the whole data stream fails.  I 
last tried a few weeks ago, no-go, but to me, typical.  It took about a 
month to get to a single report (just one product, not a whole 
database), twice, the second time, I saved it.  I've been under this 
impression of them buying out hosting from elsewhere for two or three 
years now, there was a drastic change, and I recall seeing something in 
the UR: about it calling out to some obscure site, to get it's own info.

Now, it's not a TOTAL failure.  If I try, a lot, several times a day, or 
in a week, or hit refresh up to a few dozen, or even a few hundred 
times, by leaning on F5, then about two to three times a week at best, 
the site responds, so not totally dead, just mostly dead.

I have isolated it to not me.  Multiple computers, multiple OS's, 
multiple connections, multiple ways to the FCC, no change from their end.
