  1. …and I’m the volunteer who supplied the AM radio to play the music. Lol. Edit: I uploaded the video as a short to my YouTube

  2. 5:06 it could be FM interference. The KMSP tower isn’t too far north of the city (that’s where the major FMs are) in Shoreview. (Telefarm also in Shoreview does not really have FMs on it, at least not in primary service.) And some LPFMs are licensed to StP but they should be a non-issue.

  3. 7:24 oh those were stock images lol. I was gonna ask when you found a deer in the city lol.

  4. I think ISDN is dead. Last users of it I knew of were radio stations. In fact my only experience with ISDN was the line we had in Madison that went between my station and the Entercom (now Audacy) studios. The meteorologists used it to send weather updates to them, and they used it to provide us traffic updates during the morning and 5pm newscasts.

  5. I totally want to hack that little cyber deck lol.

  6. 5:33 I never knew that lock had a horn. Or at least I don't think I knew that lol. Which is funny because I live in the Highland Park neighborhood and travel that bridge often to go to/from Minneapolis. Actually, I think you're the first time I've actually seen that lock operating, now that I think about it.

  15. You need to take one of those PTZ and beef up the motors. I believe that is what the pro ones are. I’m off this week so I can’t go peek at the big dishes at the station. You might also need counter weights.

  16. 4:39 we use Starlink when we are in low-cell coverage areas to give WiFi to our LiveU bags.

  24.  @saveitforparts  heh. You’d think so but most are beat to hell by the time they’re retired. That said, they do come up on auction occasionally. I’ll let you know if I see any pop up lol.

  26. We even use SCADA in TV to monitor the transmitter sites. Though it goes through a fiber link these days. Previously, to monitor the remote sites in Alexandria (no longer exists) & Hackensack we used dial-up modems!

  32. G19 is where a lot of network and program distribution feeds are located. Or at least were. Tbh we haven’t done much satellite work or tuning since master control was gunned out so I have no idea what’s on there anymore lol.

  34. 3:20 OMG. I wish this had been done when I was taking my walk across the Ford Rd. bridge a couple of weeks ago. That would have been epic.
