Here's a chance for an interested ham to get an interesting job. The
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has started accepting
applications for a Telecommunications Specialist at its High Frequency Direction Finding Center (HFDFC) in Columbia, Maryland.
HFDFC supports the FCC Over-the-Air spectrum observation capabilities
and provides direct support to the public safety community and other
federal partners by locating interference sources on HF radio spectrum
(below 30 MHz). The Center is part of the FCC's Public Safety and
Homeland Security Bureau in the Operations and Emergency Management
Division.
You can read more about it at the ARRL website:

As pointed out by the ARRL Washington Counsel, David Siddall: With
regard to amateur experience, note that this posting specifically states
that "Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including
volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace
Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional;
philanthropic; religious; spiritual; community, student, social).
Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills
and can provide valuable training and experience that translates
directly to paid employment. You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience."
Thought you might want to know.
Hope your summer is going well.
