Alex@rtnVFRmedia Suffolk UK<p>Waiting in one of the car parks of the general hospital for the rest of the crew to arrive, today we are moving the <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/CommunityRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CommunityRadio</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/transmitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transmitter</span></a> to the roof of the Maternity block.

Alex@rtnVFRmedia Suffolk UK<p>Got in the car, tuned into the <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/CommunityRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CommunityRadio</span></a> station - to be greeted by dead air (not even silence detector) but <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/VHF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VHF</span></a> carrier and <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/RDS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RDS</span></a> present - not good - Ofcom does not like that! As soon as I was back home and in front of a computer, checked our streaming PC - for some bizzare reason the audio link stream to the TX has stopped.

Drew Kirkman<p>I wrote a script for a video about the evolution and history of the Emergency Alert System and how it relates to the broadcast industry (aka more effort at teaching you about it rather than slapping together a compilation of tests from the 1970s and 80s). It’s six pages long. I’m sorry in advance.</p><p>Not that those compilation videos of old EBS tests aren’t interesting, they just don’t teach anyone much.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/broadcastengineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>broadcastengineering</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/radio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>radio</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/EAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EAS</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/EBS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EBS</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/CONELRAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CONELRAD</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/amateurradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>amateurradio</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/HamRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HamRadio</span></a></p>
