Broadcast Tower Site Compliance Issues and Spectrum Measurements
Dale Gehman, Gehman Compliance and Consulting
Abstract - Considering the abundance of Broadcast Industry Magazines, Weekly Newsletters and even Daily List Servers that bombard Broadcast Engineers today – conformance to the FCC and FAA Rules should be at the highest compliance level ever. Unfortunately, this is not the case. This presentation will address reoccurring Broadcast Tower Site compliance issues from frequent inspections of Radio and Television Stations throughout the country. It appears that the Broadcast Technology Industry’ is at a much lower level of conformance to the Rules than back when in the early days of the original Radio & TV Inspection Program back in 1989. Spectral measurement data on various facilities throughout the country will be presented as well.
Please tell your colleagues about this IEEE Broadcast Technology meeting and plan to attend. This particular meeting will be special with the live and hands-on demonstration of correction techniques. This will also be an opportunity to talk with Perry who has substantial field experience in television. Please RSVP to: Joe Stack, BT Chapter Chair: jstack@ieee.org or call Joe Stack at (609) 647-9677.
