most challenging assignment was on the levante coast from la spezia thru’ genoa to savona, with portofino and cinque terre in the mix. all i was given were a topo map and towns and cities. had to find best or optimal locations along route to place radios and antennas. hundreds of tunnels and bridges over rugged coastal terrain didn’t help, as getting power lines and telecom lines to those sites were almost impossible, not to forget the challenging coverage, handoffs, and signal loss conditions when vehicles zipped thru’ alternating tunnels and over alternating bridges at high speed. luckily, there were early versions of ai in the form of rf modeling software. did everything from scratch with little info but with help from the tool running on powerful software and supercomputers. that’s what they sexpected you to do with the sexpertise and sexperience. start from zero, build a team of rookies and novices fresh from universities and trade schools, train them, and groom them to becum the local sexperts. unlike in sinkieland, everything must be given on a platter; otherwise kpkb.
