It is nice when your employer recognizes that being a ham may be of some value.
Several years ago our city put in a multi-million dollar EDACS trunked system and the fire chief and technical services director asked me to be involved. I helped plan and design the layout of our radios and talk groups and I worked for several weeks wioth the installers and consultants as they brought the system on line and did the acceptance testing. Then I spent a few more weeks teaching all of our members how to use the system. It was very interesting as well as it netted me a nice chunk of overtime money that year.
