'Spose there might be one or two that frequent this place that might want to throw their hat into the ring for a position?

Send those new agents to Houston. A lot of them. They will pay their salaries many times over with all the fines they could hand out in this market, and that’s just from translators and LPFMs.

Pay me $500 per violation and I’ll report everything I notice in my trips across the country. Translators originating programming, stations silent without an STA, overpowered stations, non directional when supposed to be directional, pirate stations, and more

I'm sure there's a stipend for cost-of-living, but probably still not enough.

That salary range is an interesting posting. $66,134 is GS-9 step 1, for Los Angeles and $158,432 is GS-13 step 10 for San Francisco, using the 2023 locality pay charts.

I suspect few people would be hired at GS-9/1 but who knows.

I never had insight into the GS payscales, but it certainly reads like it would be entry-level, field-level grunt work.
