TWiRT 512 - Brace Yourselves, Winter is Coming with Paul Montoya
Friday, October 2, 2020 at 1:33PM
Preparing for winter is a time-honored ritual in most temperate climates. Most of the USA - indeed most of the world’s population - fall in temperate zones, and that means winter weather is likely or possible. The “business end” of broadcast equipment is often exposed to winter weather. Paul Montoya, Director of Engineering at Wyoming Public Media, oversees operations and maintenance at transmitter sites that are difficult to access and exposed to harsh conditions while being considered “critical infrastructure”. Paul joins us to discuss preparing for winter’s harshness to stay on-the-air - and to stay safe.
