[BC] re: How Engineers Oughta Look

[N3KKE@aol.com]

It's been bugging me all day, what Tom O. wrote.  He has that ability, for 
which I commend him.

First off, when those pictures of WJSV were taken there was no such thing as 
unattended operation.  There was a staff of engineers, and they did shift 
work.  As such, presumably they had time to hit the dry cleaner and the laundromat 
on their way home from showering in the living quarters of WJSV - now WTOP.

Second, the scheduled public tours of the WJSV transmitter conducted by pages 
would demand that the engineers be appropriately attired.

My transmitters are in some instances in toolsheds.  Others actually have 
running water, a luxury in every station I have worked for in my nearly 20 year 
career.  

None have showers.  None have had showers. Dave Garner can tell you whether 
the bathroom at WTOP still works.

I don't know, pearls or not, what is appropriate for me to demand from 
transmitter manufacturers.  Anyone demanding that I show up in a suit to vacuum the 
dead bugs out of their transmitter is welcome to go directly to hell.

By the way, the people bitching about no-code techs may join them at their 
leisure.
