New President, New FCC Leadership! BIG Changes at the FCC!

With the recent inauguration of President of the United States Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance, has also come some new leadership changes to the FCC, as well! Shortly after the President was inaugurated, President Trump nominated Brendan Carr to serve as the FCC Chairman, and Olivia Trusty to serve as a commissioner at the FCC. Since Chairman Brendan Carr took over leadership at the Federal Communications Commission, he has begun leading an effort to remove the promotion of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) by the FCC. Who are these new leaders? What all changes have they already made? Could this mean any changes for the amateur radio service in the United States? All of that today, on KI5IRE Ham Radio!
