Radio has always been a passion of mine. Today I was given the chance to privately tour the Universal Studios broadcast facility in Orlando, Florida. I was surprised to learn that they stay very busy just hosting other broadcast stations. Many times other station talent will need to broadcast a show from Universal. The facility in the picture is where they do that from. Everything was digital Axia IP equipment and of course OpX automation. This was definitely and great day. Many thanks to Bob Page and the staff for a great addition to our day of sight seeing.

Out with the old, in with the stinking tree is in the way! I had hoped that the new satellite (AMC-18) would be visible. Especially since this site will be moved in late August. So it may be time to bring in an arborist or be off the air for a month. Next step, find a cheap 3 meter dish to put up for a month. ... See MoreSee Less

Successful drop of two towers in a residential neighborhood. It was a bit of a stop and go project as we tried to schedule around the power company removing services so we could do the drop. We unexpectedly got the go last Wednesday. I'm very grateful for a hard working crew. We recycled three tons of steel and didn't set any grass fires with cutting torches and hot saws running all day for three days. Good times! ... See MoreSee Less

A little crack in a resistor could lead to big problems later. Resistors by nature get hot. They are resisting the flow of electric current after all. It is always wise to inspect resistors first whenever opening a power supply cabinet, especially bleeder resistors. Bleeder resistors are in circuit to slowly drain voltage from high voltage, high capacity capacitors. They are primarily a safety feature and a reason to always use the grounding stick across capacitors before troubleshooting a power supply. If bleeder resistors fail to do their job then get ready for a big bang at the end of the grounding stick. I've only had one such awakening but I'm sure my life was saved by the grounding stick that day. ... See MoreSee Less
