   As far as I understand this government operation, you must find the same
flight service station to report the repair, or you can be reported to the
FCC as being not in compliance.  (by the first F. S. station)

   Asking the name of the F. S. station AND the location is part of our
logging system.
   (we have had the Huntsville, AL F. S. station answer The St. Petersburg
F. S. station telephone number {saying "St. Petersburg F. S. station"}
instead of the good people in Tampa, the normal.  They said Tampa is too
busy now so they handed it over to us.)
