I saw the following ad in a Toronto newspaper, and I thought it might interest anyone who is tired of shovelling snow.

We need qualified engineers who can work on the following * Digital Transmission Radio - (VHF, UHF, and BHF) * Digital Switching - Particularly with regard to Bell System 12.

They advertise for staff a lot in the press here, and a number of Australians have done a stint there. Generally the network in PNG is in quite good shape; certainly a lot better than many developing countries. I am not surprised they don't use a consulting company. Those thing cost MONEY, and as the biggest source of foreign money in PNG is aid from Australia, they don't have an awful lot to splash on consultancies.
