Skelton W5MA 1901 Standish Dr., Irving, Texas « It Seems to FCCS 20th anniversary The Federal Communications Commissionlast year marked its 20th anniversary of exist-ence as the federal agency regulating all formsof radio and wire communication. Old-timers will recall that most radio matterswere administered by the Department of Com-merce prior to 1927; the Radio Act of that yearcreated a Federal Radio Commission, withduties obvious from its name. Our affairs werehandled by FRC until the CommunicationsAct of 1934 designated a Federal Communica-tions Commission to take over radio regulationfrom FRC, and to have in addition responsi-bility for wii-e telephone and telegraph 1934 change had no particular effect onamateurs oi- on radio in general, for it wassimply administiation by substantially thesame Commission and staff as FRC. The anni-versary seems an appropriate one to lookback to our regulatory status two decades ago. The new Commission inherited from FRC(in reality, from itself!) a fairly sound set ofamateur regulations
