Does anyone have an example CSI-formatted specification for NYC fire department ARC (auxiliary radio communication) system?

Or, any idea where to place it in MasterFormat?

I'm thinking of copying the nearest communication system section and naming it 273255 - AUXILIARY RADIO COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM

Friendly reminder: If the ARC has an antenna or service connections that penetrate the building envelope, specify that the building's lightning protection system is modified to incorporate the ARC.

An article I wrote about ham radio and lightning protection may be helpful as a starting point. See http://www.arrl.org/files/file/QST/This%20Month%20in%20QST/June2017/Chusid-Morgan.pdf

Forgive the following: Protect the ARC from an arc from sky to ground.
