Antenna Tower Site News

The U.S. Coast Guard issued a Notice that it intends to prepare a Supplemental Program Environmental Assessment (SPEA) for its National Distress and Response System Modernization Project. The SPEA will examine reasonable alternatives for the deployment of dual-mode VHF/UHF radio equipment to either an existing national distress system antenna tower site, antenna tower space leased from a commercial provider, or new construction of an antenna tower site. Comments relating to this effort should be submitted by June 24, 2002. Source: HK Law
