I put the thread adapter in a Yellowtec CamStud backwards and picked up a new battle scar trying to get it out so I could flip it around. Those threads are sharp!

The first Debian 13 hosts are going up in the lab. As more broadcast vendors begin delivering software rather than specialized hardware, the reliability of the Linux kernel and other Unix-like systems can help make working with these new software offerings more like their hardware counterparts.

It’s a beautiful day to be out in the field at the tower site! I’m fortunate that all my transmitters are in the city and not a 2+ hour drive away from the station. #BroadcastEngineering

Broadcasters in the eastern US: how are your rack room/TOC air conditioners doing this morning? Mine have uh… pretty much shut off.

I didn’t want to waste a whole 8 batteries in a label maker and the only wall wart I could find had the wrong polarity, so I improvised and made a little polarity flipper with some spare barrel plugs and breadboard wire.

Good morning from the tower site! On a rainy, gloomy day like today, being next to or under a tower this tall is the only way you’re going to see the top.

🧵 These days in #BroadcastEngineering, modern facilities don’t have a lot of physical audio or video connections. For example, the green network cables in the cable trays shown in this photo are for our audio-over-IP network.

The studio is coming back together… so you must know that means I have some new stuff up my sleeve. (Hans is a better supervisor than he is a helper.)

It’s early on a Sunday and that means it’s a great time to have our studio facility generator load tested!
