TWiRT 430 - War Stories with Stephen Poole

Chris Tobin and Kirk Harnack are talking “war stories” with Stephen Poole, Chief Engineer at Crawford Broadcasting in Birmingham.  Seems today’s war stories are involving more computers and networking than traditional broadcast equipment. We discuss replacement of IP Radio links, a misbehaving Cisco switch, and Stephen’s famous “3,000 year old generator.”
