Folks:
As many of you know Andy and I collaborate on supporting the technology base in the South Coast through SBTAC. The Telecommunications Advisory Council is made up of professional engineers and administrative planners. Many of the contributors are closely aligned with SBARC while others are industry personnel with a high degree of professional background. The infrastructure knowledge we gain on a daily basis is a "leader-follower" concept wherein SBTAC is helping guide amateur radio and SBARC into community related telecommunications projects. Read the below article, it will provide insight and possible concepts into partnership agreements between amateur radio and the community.
