"Transmitters Aren't Supposed to Be Exciting...But Saving Money Is!"
with Don Backus, Rohde & Schwarz
Your transmitter plant isn't supposed to be exciting - it's just supposed to run 24/7/365. In fact, excitement at the transmitter site is almost always a very bad thing...unless that excitement is a reduced electric power bill. Now, that's exciting!What if your transmitter could reduce your operational costs by bringing new technology and design into the mix, by paying for itself, or even becoming a profit center, all on its own? It can, and it's not voodoo or science fiction...it's where great engineering and financial management meet, where an expense item becomes a revenue center - and that's actually exciting!
