@brettglass @BoulderPreston @united If you are in the DMV, #Allegiant has a nice flight between IAD and SRQ!

@BoulderPreston @united Yes, when you try to contact @united to complain about anything, all you get is a useless bot. Recommend complaining to the USDOT. They have a page for it.

1/2 Ipaid United almost $5000 for two first class round-trip tickets between Denver and Sarasota. I have over 2,000,000 miles on United. I have a very bad back. My seat was broken and would not recline. When I told the flight attendant, she said “we know“.

@thejoekane I think so!

Interesting tool!

Great performance at #Circus Sarasota this year, extending Sarasota’s circus legacy. The Ukrainian performers Maryna Tkachenko and Anastasiia Kornieieva were spectacular!

Cuba radio. 530 kHz AM broadcast from Havana still on the air though there are press reports of widespread power failures. Received at Sarasota, Florida via the saltwater propagation path.

@thejoekane Wait - you don’t like it?!

I'm not saying we need to rethink the logarithmic scale, but...

Thanksgiving fishing trip with my son in-laws. Redfish, flounder and sheepshead!

Here in Dubai and saw a China BYD hybrid pickup truck they are selling here. $43k (US) 1.5l engine. Price includes the Karaoke mic

@cqcqcqdx That tower face on the picture seems a bit small for a 500’ tower.

Copper Thieves Destroy KITX’s 500' Radio Tower. Severed guy cables caused the Oklahoma station's tower to collapse. The thieves caused catastrophic damage to the KITX(FM) tower by cutting tower guy cables. The tower subsequently collapsed causing a half-million dollars in damage.

@FCCTech Hey - don’t give away our spectrum management techniques! 😂

@Stewart_of_Mars These really are helpful! Thank you for providing this service!

I've gone back to work for a former employer, so my updates may become weeklies instead of dailies. Evaluating that. Public Knowledge and Consumer Technology Association oppose NAB's petition on ATSC 3.0 Daily Ex Parte, Sep 4, 2025 open.substack.com/pub/docketrock…

@FCCTech Wait, do I need to flag this for legal review? 😂

If you look closely, the US Frequency Allocation Chart has been incorporated into this art. What am I bid?

@ScottatPatrick It was a great event and best to Ed!

Sad to see NTIA spectrum genius and leader Ed Drocella hanging up his spurs. Enjoy your retirement!

@WirelessEst Yikes - guyed towers usually collapse within 1/3rd of its overall height in an uncontrolled environment (like a hurricane). Unsure about self supporting towers and an unintentional collapse.

Harmoni moves fast to remove 295-foot tower above Alabama highway after foundation failure was discovered wirelessestimator.com/articles/2025/…

The new SRQ expanded terminal reminds me so much of Long Beach airport with the external stairway! Love it!

@FCCTech @darkstarsats That interpretation of the non-federal bands identification not constrained by the “covered band” definition is correct.

@darkstarsats Not sure about the lack of frequency limits.

$NN would love to stress test a theory--FCC must auction 200 MHz (excluding the 100MHz of C-band) over the next 8 years and is not subject to the same 1.3-10.5 GHz restriction NTIA is. If NextNav is right and the band can handle 5G, what stops FCC from just auctioning it?

@FCCTech That reminds me - is it time for another NTIA spectrum symposium!

Just a snook and yes, a couple of flounders for dinner, type of day here in Sarasota. All before having to find 500 megahertz of spectrum per the BBB!

Unexpected holiday boarding treat from #delta for an early morning flight!

Should we bring back “Decoration Day” as it drives action on how to memorialize our fallen?

@SuePearFL @G_W_Forum @KTHopkins Radar appears to be receiving interference from external RF sources. Nothing unusual

🚨Florida this is an emergency. WTH is going on here?! Nexrad pulses off the charts 5-16-25. The public cannot obtain Level II pulsed activity logs from these stations without a FOIA. WHY?! These stations emit RF microwave energy. I have a massive headache. @G_W_Forum @KTHopkins @Kat_Cammack @GovRonDeSantis @IleanaGarciaUSA @ByronDonalds @CaseyDeSantis @EmeraldRobinson @RobertKennedyJr @JustinWeRchange #weathermodification
