[BC] Another automation quesiton

[KKTY]

Ohhhhh.... mercy! We had one of those at KAML-FM in Gillette, WY in about 
'89. It replaced a BE-16 reel/carousel system.

14 Nakamichi cassette decks full of commercials...impossible to traffic the 
thing, because the decks all had to rewind/search at normal fast fwd/reverse 
speeds to cue up. We were always getting the computer's tone bursts on the 
air, similar to EAS tones. It was an absolute nightmare, and we were waaay 
glad to update to Systemation's hard disk system when it came out.

Systemation operated out of the basement of WDZ/WDZQ in Decatur, IL. I flew 
back for a weekend-long lesson on how to use the thing. Bob Willey was the 
tech/teacher, and a true gentleman. He was always a pleasure to work with, 
in person and on the phone.
