Jon worked with Pat Collins during the CERT flooding event and happily reported that Pat seems to support MAARS. Pat volunteered us a spot on a tower in 4-5 months with ability to plug into existing hardline. K-Com will be handling the tower project for Riley County.
It was suggested to reach out to Justin, Court and/or Gavin to see what they would recommend.
