Like a General Contractor

Thinking about all the skills and responsibilities that broadcast engineers have, it seems we’re akin to General Contractors. We have to know something about a lot of things. Disciplines from basic structural load calculations to audio circuit optimization to complex digital modulation schemes. Those and a thousand other topics are critical to the well-rounded and effective broadcast engineer. Chris Tobin and Kirk Harnack discuss how diverse skills relate to our recent experiences.
