Keira Connolly got started in radio engineering the same way many of us did – through building our own transmitters and broadcasting to the “neighborhood”. Keira’s radio “neighborhood” may have involved some impressive FM power output levels, but certainly involved consulting broadcast facilities in both Ireland and South Africa. And now that broadcast infrastructure is moving into IT hosted systems, including virtual machines and, soon, containerized software, Keira is working with those technologies, too.
Show Notes:
- Planet Radio in Ireland
- Synergy software allowing control of multiple computers with one keyboard & mouse
- Chris reminds us of UPS battery maintenance and timely replacement. Here’s a guide.
