The RF Workbench / Re: Studio gear used for X-FM's 2015 Halloween show

Thanks for the tip. Part of the reason for the question was ham related, part just academic interest.
Aircraft audio was pretty simple except for the entertainment system. Most of them were multiplex. Not great quality but not simple.

Many thanks for taking the time to write that up for me. I plan to read up on all the different components described. I have been thinking I should improve my audio setup with two goals: better quality and fewer microphones. I have four ham transmitters and each has its own mic. Gets confusing.

Very impressive. I don't know about or have much experience with studio / audio equipment. If you get a minute would you give a rundown of the equipment pictured. (All my experience is with RF and avionics equipment.)

I needed a math prof like that. Had a couple of physics and engineering profs that were particularly good. Two things I learned: watch out for any course labeled "Intorduction to" or "Elementary" as in "Introduction to Modern Physics" and "Elementary Differential Equations.
(one of the great profs taught that physics course, thank goodness)

Al, I first saw that limerick in "1-2-3 Infinity" by George Gamow. c 1953. One of my favorite limericks from one of my favorite books.
And I once knew a guy that had Dr. Feynman as a professor at Cal Tech. Also a great man and I can recommend his books, "Surely Your Joking, Mr. Feynman!" and "More SYJ". Autobiographical and great reads.
Vince, Mészáros didn't mention a QSL. No QSL it didn't happen.

SIN 333 with QSB, better on peaks. Fair amount of noise here tonight.

And don't forget you can listen to the "pings". Link at spaceweather.com
So you can sleep in and still enjoy. And there are always the MS guys on VHF. Check dxmaps for activity.
