I know theres a couple people here in the Tolland area, so I thought I would ask...
I am looking into getting a job that combines my #1 hobby (computers, with a concentration in software programming) with my #2 hobby (scanners, 2-way radio, etc).
My first thoughts have been dispatching, radio service, etc.
Even with my limited listening capabilities (a non-800mhz, non-trunking scanner) I can see all sorts of problems (with solutions) that would benefit both the public safety agenies in the area as well as the public that they serve. As a side note, I plan on getting an amateur radio license in the near future.
I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions or information relating to these kinds of jobs. I am young and willing and ready to learn.
I'm sorry that this post is a bit personal and "not exactly radio related", but like they say... if you have a question... ask it.. because chances are someone else wants to know the answer too.
For this topic, I would prefer a PM rather than a reply, but if you think it would benefit everyone, feel free to do both.
