About the CCA Technical Bulletins

There is a tremendous amount of knowledge within the Collins community that is not being tapped, is not being shared, and is not even known to exist. The CCA Tech Bulletins attempt to fill this gap, and to encourage members and nonmembers to share knowledge they have that would be valuable to current and future enthusiasts. CCA Tech Bulletins is also envisioned to be used for rapid dissemination of important topics or “alerts.” Broadly speaking, the bulletins are:

  • An alert about a topic of technical interest or importance affecting the performance of Collins equipment.
  • Used to cover topics that perhaps only a small numbers of members would care about and are not necessarily well suited for The Signal.
  • Used to provide background or additional treatment of a known topic that needs further discussion without waiting for possible publication several months later in The Signal.
  • Cover timely topics that warrant more attention and depth than reflector posts can provide. Provide rapid reaction to a hot topic.
