Broadcast Engineering Forums/Boards

[Jon Maguire]

Hi Scott, many thanks for the pointers. I have this urge to get current 
with the latest AM and FM technology. Of course, antennas, phasors, 
transmission lines, AM and FM transmitter theory hasn't changed, just 
the implementation. HD and other new technologies look very interesting. 
I've used DRM in Ham radio, and it's pretty neat. Thanks again.
