So what are the requirements for the job? Not DV VP but Frequency Coor?
Someone that knows the difference between a frequency scanner and a spectrum analyzer. Someone that knows not to leave a battery in the unit when it is not in use. Someone that will send it out on a first come first served basis to whoever requests it. Someone that will make sure it is returned in a reasonable time. Someone that will check it occasionally against his transmitters and those at the local field to see if it looks right.
Someone with phone/answering machine and e-mail access.
A technical background would be helpful, but not mandatory. The job in the past has been given to a widow of deceased modeler so "she would have something to do" rather than ever becoming a threat by running for VP office, the fact that the individual lived in the middle of nowhere and was not served regularly by UPS didn't seem to matter, the fact that the individual was rarely available via phone (no answering machine) or didn't have e-mail access didn't seem to mater either. Knowing the difference between a scanner and a spectrum analyzer didn't seem to matter or did leaving dead batteries to leak in the equipment were no cause for concern.
Graduate electrical engineers or R/C Radio Service specialist need not apply. Any individual with the remotest possibility or ambition of moving up in the District to run for VP someday- don't even think about it!
