An affirmative response to all 100+ questions in the list implies substantial compliance. This webinar covers the purpose, scope and limitations of the self inspection checklist. It also addresses the technical and non-technical aspects, as well as the public inspection file, antenna structures, the Emergency Alert System and more.
