Jim,
All the broadcast inspections are now contracted out to private companies.

I did all the FCC required licenses at Portland FCC. General class while in
High School, all commercial licenses including 3rd class radiotelegraph and
Amateur Extra around early 1960s. And with a 10 year broadcasting career
usually yearly visits from McCann or another FCC engineer Burson at the
broadcast station inspections.

I took my General at the FCC office downtown Portland in the late
60s. The examiner was a tough and gruff staffer named Francis McCann.
IMHO, he was extra tough on 14 year olds, hi. You know my heart was
racing when that series of V's came through those headphones!
Frank McCann was one of the old timers when I joined the agency in 1967.
By that time he was the Engineer in Charge of the Portland Office but
the EIC did a lot of the journeyman jobs in those smaller offices. When
he retired in the late 1970s (or was it the early 1980s) I applied for
his job but they had to give it to someone else whose office was being
closed and I continued at the San Francisco Office until I retired in
1995. I have no idea what happened to him after that.
