| ANSI ASC C63® Recognizes Member Contributions |
| At the Telecommunications Certification Body Council (TCBC) meeting in Baltimore the week of April 26, 2010, there was an opportunity to present the ANSI ASC C63® membership certificate to the TCBC. This organization provides significant contribution via its primary representative on C63® – Art Wall, a consultant with his own company, Radio Regulatory Consultants. At a break in the TCBC meeting, the Vice Chairman of C63® – Dan Hoolihan of Hoolihan EMC Consulting – presented the certificate to the secretary of the TCBC. See the photo at right for the short ceremony. ANSI ASC C63® handed out similar certificates to its members at its meeting on 22 April 2010 in Piscataway, New Jersey, in conjunction with its meeting series held at IEEE headquarters. Included with this article are a few photos showing members receiving their certificates. |
