[BC] re: communications attorney was: am radio kit - busted

[Rev. Robert P. Chrysafis]

Well his emails and headers come from FCC.gov. he is listed on the fcc 
website. the number i was given is listed on the fcc website. all 
indications is he is real. he just is not following established procedures 
and acting more or less in a harrasing and adversarial manner. I always 
thought fcc agents are suppose to be helpful, curtious, and proffessional.
