[FADCA] Security guidelines

[D.Calder]

Been trying to write this since early this morning. Nuts here today....

Good question. I don't think "cheap" is the issue. I think tower space is what's needed to make any of it happen.
Heck, if we had something I thought would work at high speed, I'd pump in a ton of money in it. I'm not taking it with me
and I'm not giving it to my kids. (they can get it like I did, earn it) :)

I'm trying to talk my company into allowing Ham operators tower space. (been trying) But now my manager (VP) is a ham operator also.
He and I are flying to Boston and putting on a dog and pony show about what it does, etc, etc. (what is will do for ATC is the biggie)

We have written up a proposal. The rad center is still considered available to us and we would have to move if a "paying" carrier
wanted the space. We would only use an "ATC approved" vendor for the work (which I have gotten one who will do it free). He
owes me. I helped him get in this business.

Anyway, we'll see what happens. I got permission for my .375 repeater and a node with it some time ago when I put it up so I'm
hoping this will fly too. We also manage the FDOT towers and won't be able to use them but we have enough otherwise. If we can
get past this hurdle and have space anywhere we need it, our troubles are 75% over.

Dave,

What would be a good platform and cheap?
