Engineers Jim Stenberg and Paul Shulins have acquired Greg Best Consulting Inc. and launched a new consultancy called Over The Air RF Consulting LLC, or “OTA RF.”
It will handle radio and TV engineering projects including applications, broadcast system engineering, project management and airborne thermal measurements of antennas and transmission lines.
“Paul and Jim are working closely with Greg to ensure a seamless transition, and to further build on the excellent firm Greg has developed over the last two decades,” Shulins and Stenberg wrote in the announcement.
They said Greg Best is retiring from full-time consulting. “OTA RF will continue to provide all the services that GBC has in the past and expand those as opportunities appear. Greg will support OTA RF as an advisor and consultant for an extended period of time.”
The company’s contact number is 207-221-7677; emails are jim@otarf.com and paul@otarf.com. A website is pending.
