Why have more than one Studio To Transmitter link? KOST, KIIS, and KRRL do. 

You're right. I have been retired for four years now and went to the NAB show in April and felt like a dinosaur. The tech has improved and updated very quickly in just those four years. Sometimes management could be a little dismissive of engineering. I had one GM that wanted me to deliver and move furniture at his house. I let him know there was no way I was going to do that. Thankfully CBS radio was not like that, at least in San Francisco. I think IBEW would have had something to say about us moving furniture for the higher ups.

@@steampoweredradio2981 Sad that some GM's have such an ignorant attitude. My husband's dad was a GM, then 580 KHz CJFX in Antigonish NS Canada. He revered his Chief Engineer Don Holmes and would not ask him to do trivial work. That said, Don on his own accord, designed/built beautiful studio furniture for the station. God bless.

I’ve had a close experience. Got stuck in the snow on the way to a site ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-haBtyFFd6kQ.html

Yeah, at the station in my hometown, the Chief Engineer took me under his wing as a wet-behind-the-ears 17-year-old and helped me increase the range on my neighborhood radio station, as well as being able to see for the first time an FM transmitter site. A good man...now with his Lord.

Hot temps is always a bad situation. We were up there a few weeks ago. It takes a while to edit the videos.

We did not go into their room. Each room is locked. Kind of like an apartment.

Yeah, KOST is definitely NOT aimed at teenagers LOL. When I worked as a dishwasher at an ice cream shop, we had KMEL (which had turned CHR the previous August) on the boom box in the back. That made washing dishes a pleasure! Summer 1985 hits blastin' across the dish, prep, and break rooms!

For a long time, that building did indeed host a post office for Mt. Wilson. When I worked there in the late 1970's there was a post master who lived in the building with his wife. I believe they closed that office in the 90's.

@@steampoweredradio2981 wow, thats cool! Thanks for sharing!

There’s still a post office sign. I think it will do some mail services but I’m not sure.

Probably KTBN? It’s to control the transmitter. Some stations still have a person manning the transmitters at Mt. Wilson.

Actually TDM came from the phone company.

@@TheBroadcastEngineer Noice... At least im on track... sort of.

It’s a mix of Orban Optimods and Omnia processors.

That is Maria. She works for a vendor who interfaces with engineers all the time. She is a member of the chapter board.
