@emma.aioe.org: Wasn't Zinns, or something like that, the nice guy that liked to go to a nice place for lunch and tell inspection humor stories? He was my favorite inspector. You boys needed to meet Mr Sheehan, the FCC inspector from Savannah. His boss had to go retrieve him from a small town lockup when he barged into the radio room of a small town sheriff's office demanding to see the transmitter without identifying himself, properly. Over here, we all miss Mr Sheehan....(c; |

Over here, we all miss Mr Sheehan....(c; There is a good FCC Story about Pete Baliogenn, getting thrown out of a small Cop-Shop over in Idaho, somewhere, because the Sheriff, didn't have his annual "Cert" work done. Pete went and got the local US Marshall, and locked the Sheriff in his own Jail, shutoff and sealed ALL the Radio Power Switches and told the Senior Deputy that if ANYONE but a Licensed Radio Tech broke the seals while doing the "Certifacation Work" they would join the Sheriff in the back cell. Pete really had a mean temper, if you crossed him, and he KNEW his Powers, and how to wield it, when he felt justified. I learned a lot about intimidation from watching him work. This was back in the Day, when the FCC wasn't just a "Paper Tiger" outfit. I have used the US Marshall's Service and the USCG to provide Enforcement Mussle, a couple of times when it was required. Once on an Alaska State Ferry that Failed a SOLAS Inspection and was due to sail in a couple of hours. It is amazing the cooperation you get when a USCG Lt. is standing on the Bridge with a couple of Armed USCG Crewdogs...... Bruce in alaska -- add a 2 before @ |
