[BC] Frontline Wireless emergency network

[Robert Meuser]

Sorry

I am a cost is no object kind of guy. I have had the good fortune to 
build radio stations that way and will not give in to cost cutters. 
People laughed when we put in standby power that had a 10day supply of 
fuel  to run all the TXs in the building at the same time until the 
lights went out for an extended period of time. Then that  turned into 
thank you. You can either do the short cut engineering approach or do 
the damn the torpedoes approach and cover yourself for everything. I 
luckily have not had to work for cheapskates. I inherited stations that 
took the same approach, in both cases no one looked backwards.

I have turned down jobs offered by those who do not want to pay for 
first class plus operation.
