Greetings from your broadcast friends out on the Desert…
This is BDR Newsletter 792, Volume 16, #12 for October 23, 2024
Here are some things you might want to know about:
IT HAS BEEN A BAD MONTH FOR TOWERS
It has only been a short time since a balloon ran into and destroyed the KKOB tower in Albuquerque. This week, a helicopter ran into a tower in Houston that had several stations on it. Running at 110 mph at 600 feet, videos show the helicopter hitting the 1000 foot tower and bursting into flames.
FM ASYMMETRY RULES PUBLISHED
The new rules permitting most FM stations to adjust the levels of their sidebands was published in the Federal Register, making it possible for stations to take advantage starting on November 20th.
FOTI ON AUDIO PROCESSING
Whenever Frank Foti talks about audio processing, we learn things. One of the top designers of audio processors that allow stations to construct their “sound,” you can tell this has been Foti’s passion for many years. This Thursday, join us to learn things about the history of audio processing, what are the latest features in the Omnia line, and maybe a hint or two on what is ahead.
As usual, the plan is for us to gather Thursday at 2PM Eastern/ 11AM Pacific. Let’s see what we can do to help one another.
