REGION 6 NPSPAC MEETING; VERY IMPORTANT!
There will be a very important meeting of the NPSPAC Review and Revision Committee immediately following the regular Frequency Advisors meeting. We have several important issues to discuss relative to requests we are holding for counties and agencies in the SF Bay Area. These are held pending a decision of the Committee on the present wording in the Plan and the need to expedite requests for assignment of the Inter-Op Channels. I have just received word that Samuel Williams at OES is no longer representing that agency I have requested George Lowry and/or others to be present to explain their role. Please review both the NPSPAC Plan and the CLEMARS Plan prior to attending.!
Art McDole Region 6 Chair
