[BC] Transmitter visits at insecure sites

[Mike McCarthy]

Around here, no police department provides an escort as a matter of 
policy...if they do it for radio people, then who else might make a claim 
for "their" profession.  OTOH, it's bene known to occur that if a site is 
desperately needed for some specific reason and the reason overwhelming and 
compelling, they'll bring them in.  But it's got to be a really good reason 
to deviate from policy like that.

Depending on the conditions present, such as severe weather...winter or 
summer, or a prevailing concern in a really rural area, I might call the 
sheriff and let them know we're working and we would appreciate a stop-by 
so the officers can acquaint themselves with the site and what we do.
