Hello neighbors,
I am a Professional Broadcast Engineer with 35 years management experience in commercial radio and broadcast engineering. I am also a patentee.
My wife is a broadcast engineer with a bit less experience than me, but she is a prodigy with broadcast automation systems such as ones used by the local stations.
We are a working synergistic team like Heather/T-Bone and Dawn/Boomer with a passion for radio broadcasting.
My difficult physical health issues brought me here with an offer of secure employment for us both with "great health insurance." We sold our old house and took out a mortgage to buy this one. We LOVE the area and I planed to retire here. One day after a recent scheduled surgery I was fired via phone call for arguing a safety issue and differences about the role of the station in local emergencies.
I have not been free to do certain work I wanted to do there and I am embarrassed professionally by the poor reliability of those stations. I was just an employee-desperate for the health coverage and I had to do as ordered by the owner whether my professional opinion as a certified PBE was considered or not.
If you want a better example of my work and long time reliability of broadcast facilities I have built, look to WHFS and DC101- I am was Chief Engineer of both facilities in that order during my youth.
I recently helped move DC 101's studios as a consultant only a few years ago. I supervised the new young engineers at DC101 who were not yet born when I had been Chief. Not a bad employment reference. Anyway, I moved their studios to Rockville a few years ago, thirty years after my tour as their Chief Engineer officially ended. I also still have desk privileges at the PE firm I worked for till 1981. This station owner is the only guy to EVER fire me in 35 years in the radio biz!
We are offering our services to the community to build a non-commercial radio station focused on local events and always at the becon call of our fine EMS people for emergencies AS THEY DETERMINE, not the judgement of an absentee owner.
