Today is the anniversary of Benjamin Franklin flying his kite on a lightning storm and starting America’s leadership in electromagnetics! Yes, it is worth the read. ntia.gov/blog/2026/celebrati…

Great performance at #Circus Sarasota this year, extending Sarasota’s circus legacy. The Ukrainian performers Maryna Tkachenko and Anastasiia Kornieieva were spectacular!

The new SRQ expanded terminal reminds me so much of Long Beach airport with the external stairway! Love it!

Just a snook and yes, a couple of flounders for dinner, type of day here in Sarasota. All before having to find 500 megahertz of spectrum per the BBB!

Lido key is offshore from Sarasota. The initial reports from these keys/islands are indicating heavy storm surge damage. Yikes!
As we continue our damage assessment and recovery efforts, this video captured by the Sarasota Police Drone Unit displays the impact of #HurricaneHelene on our community. St. Armands & and Lido Keys, both Level A evacuation zones, experienced significant flooding and storm surge.

Great event. Many more over the next 2 years as we study these bands.
NTIA's Multistakeholder Spectrum Band Study meeting was a big success, thanks to those who attended. Lots to be excited about.

GPS - America’s Gift to the World!
🛰️ GPS, despite being free for global use, costs around $2 million a day to operate and maintain. This budget covers satellite launches and system upkeep, funded through American tax revenue.
