The invention relates to systems and methods for spectrum sharing and communication among several wireless communication networks with overlapping service areas, especially to Wireless Regional Area Networks. As previously mentioned, the CVT is comprised of a drive clutch assembly, a driven clutch assembly, and an endless V-belt disposed about the drive and driven clutch assemblies. A switch is arranged to electrically couple the pair of elongate elements together in response to a control signal generated by an oscillator circuit and a battery.
