I would check in with the local chapter of PMI. At our Richmond VA monthly dinner meetings people or companies that are in need of PMs have the opportunity to advertise open positions; that is how I heard of my current job. Good luck.

It seems as if you might do better in New London, however my days are long ago, That being said there are a couple of options that I could think of. One would be to locate the Small and Disadvantaged Business folks in your area and find out what engineering firms in your area are working in communications . They usually have list of contractors. See if you can get a couple of contacts there. Look at the bid lists for Request for Proposals and see who has been requesting proposals in the area that you are interested in. See if you can contact them.
The professional organization suggested by one of the other folks is another good idea. If you can make a list of the top ten or fifteen companies you would like to work for. Prioritize the list with the one you want the most at the top. Start trying to set up interviews with the ones at the bottom and work up. By the time you get to your top tier candidates you will have honed your interview skills, know what is going on in the community, and be able to interview them rather than vice versa.
Another approach would be to talk to the local Reserve outfit and see if any of their folks know who hires who in the area. You also might want to talk to some of the University Placement offices and see if they know any tech recruiters in the area.
As a last resort, The Navy (civil service) had programs in logistics and contracts if you have a degree. You might explore that avenue as well. I gather from your background you have held or do hold a clearance. If it is a high level one, that is a good bargaining chip because you can transfer it easier which means the company does not have to pay for all of the investigations .
Sorry I can't help more.
