  You mean "only six" in one district.  Problems of this sort are
  usually handled by letter before anyone is sent out.  ARRL
  Volunteer Counsels and Consulting Engineers are sometimes asked
  to serve as mediators in those situations (I've done a few).

  When I started at FCC San Francisco in the 1960s we had 10 at
  one time.  We did a lot of marine safety inspections, as well
  as land mobile and broadcast station compliance audits and CB
  and Ham Radio compliance and interference resolution.  The vast
  majority of those activities have been spun off to private
  sector entities for almost 20 years under the "deregulation"
  banner.

  When I retired as District Director in the 1990s there were
  only two engineers plus myself.  A recent visit to the office
  revealed that there were now four.  This is about one third of
  what is really required but I've been saying that for decades.

  Remember that ham problems are a very small slice of what the
  agency field folks should be dealing with.
