Kickstart your transmitter site maintenance planning and learn from your fellow engineers in this diverse and lively discussion. Jeff covers the tasks that should be done after an extended absence from the site, what things should be scheduled events (e.g. generator load testing, air filter replacement, condenser coil cleaning) and what surprises have been encountered when visiting various sites over the years. He also discusses routine housekeeping, emergency repairs and war stories, where we almost got bit, but didn’t – or did get bit and what we learned!
