The October Richmond SBE Chapter 60 meeting will be held Thursday October 9th, 7PM at Summit Media Richmond.  This month’s presentation comes from Joe Davis of Chesapeake RF Consultants (Radiofrequency Consulting Engineers).   Joe will be discussing the 2015 FCC “incentive auction,  focusing on the post-auction transition of the TV channel re-packing process.  Obviously, this program is great for our TV members but Joe says it’ll also interest FM broadcasters… as in some cases this process may involve relocation of FM antennas co-located with TV.
