TWiRT 638 - Build & Re-Build Transmitter Sites with Chris Tarr
Friday, March 31, 2023 at 2:28PM
Sometimes broadcast engineers get to build new transmitter sites or facilities. Usually, however, we’re tasked with rebuilding existing sites or improving them. Chris Tarr is a sought-after engineer thanks to his experience and hard-earned wisdom in best practices as well as clever solutions. On this episode of TWiRT, Chris shares this wisdom and the reasoning behind it from several transmitter site projects. Plus, Kirk presents Chris (and our audience) with three scenarios for new studios and FM/HD transmitter sites, and awaits Chris’s judgment!
Show Notes:
Chris mentioned the Bird SA-6000XT Site Analyzer - It’s discontinued but here’s a video about calibrating it before making measurements.
The Bird Site Analyzer is easily found for sale - used and/or refurbished.
A well-equipped RF engineer may have this current model from Bird Electronics.
