While it’s been a good 25 or 30 years since we’ve had them in our studios, we’ll never forget the pleasure - and occasional pain - of using them and maintaining them.  But how did cart machines come to be? Were they always like the ones we grew up with in the 70s and 80s? Or did the development come with fits and starts?  Andy Rector worked with broadcast carts nearly from the very beginning of their existence.  He’s been interviewed many times and provide...2025-05-0900 minTWiRT - This Week in Radio Tech - PodcastTWiRT - This Week in Radio Tech - PodcastTWiRT 746 - IP Radio & WiFi Engineering with Cam Lasley Young broadcast engineers are few and far between, but Cameron Lasley is making a big difference for broadcasters in Kentucky.  Cam’s primary role is with wireless broadband technologies; he’s the owner of a Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP) in Kentucky.  On a future TWiRT episode we’ll discover Cam’s broadcast engineering experiences, but on this show we’re finding out about the WiFi technologies that power IP radio links.  These are links that broadcasters - as well as WISPs - use every day.  We’ll gain understanding of link budgets and margins, as well as best practice...2025-05-0200 minTWiRT - This Week in Radio Tech - PodcastTWiRT - This Week in Radio Tech - PodcastTWiRT 745 - Tower Maintenance and Broadcast Regulations - with Robbie Hulett and Bud Walters Today’s TWiRT webcast is a double-header - two guests on very different yet important topics.  First up is Robbie Hulett, owner of Tower Maintenance Corp.  Robbie shares his company’s work and achievements on social media, keeping broadcasters abreast of current trends in the tower maintenance field. Perhaps some of TMC’s work will prompt others to check on and maintain their vertical structures with the attention they deserve.  And Bayard “Bud” Walters - a Nashville-based radio group owner - gives us his candid thoughts about the FCC’s “Delete, Delete, Delete” regulatory reform program.  The NAB has filed length...2025-04-2500 minTWiRT - This Week in Radio Tech - PodcastTWiRT - This Week in Radio Tech - PodcastTWiRT 744 - Engineering Achievement with Paul Shulins Congratulations to Paul Shulins, co-owner of Over The Air RF Consulting.

Doesn't sound exciting, but what it's doing for people in many countries is sometimes life-saving. We might think of CAP as a new-ish way to receive emergency messages, such as Child Abduction Emergency notification. Or we may consider CAP as just another input source to our broadcast EAS systems. There’s a lot more to CAP than this, however. Interestingly, the USA and Canada are using CAP a bit differently.
