[SBE] Certification

[Jim Bernier]

I wasn't aware that BICSI had moved into the realm of certifying cable or 
equipment.  Their traditional realm has been certifying people and methods, 
not specific products.

When the SBE decided to get into the realm of certification, it was to offer 
the broadcast industry a measure of an individual's knowledge of broadcast 
engineering at a time when the FCC decided to eliminate the requirement for 
a First Class Radio Telephone license.

If the membership believes that the SBE should get into the realm of 
certifying equipment and products, this would be a good forum to discuss 
that need and what it would take to move into that arena.
