It's interesting that the FAA sends out messages to registered drone (unmanned aircraft systems) owners but the FCC can't figure out how to do the same thing, apparently for any radio service. I know anyone can subscribe to the FCC Daily Digest but that email includes everything and the kitchen sink and it's a pain to look through it to find things related to ham radio. Is there an FCC service similar to the what the FAA used that I'm unaware of? (I didn't sign up for FAA news or anything, I just registered my drone last December) -- Tom
