- 2 - We also wanted to mention too that Issue No, 5 of the Engineering News¬ letter was ready for mimeographing before we left. If your Chief Engineer and members of your technical staff do not receive this, we hope you’ll for¬ ward us their names for our mailing list. ***** Attention; Radio Station Technical Personnell The NAEB Engineering Comr- mittee is planning a Seminar for Technical Personnel who are charged with the operation and maintenance of technical equipment at the smaller educational AM and FM stations. This is primarily for the permanent technical staff members of the small stations with the expectation of covering the problems encountered in the operation and maintenance of their studio, transmitting and recording equipment. Soon we will forward a questionnaire and application blank to all member stations, We hope you will get this information back to us in time for the Engineering Committee to use it in setting up the program of the Seminar at its meeting, April 15 and 16. It is expected that this proposed seminar will receive NAEB Board approval and that sufficient funds will be available to pay all travel and living expenses of those attending. This should be a fine experience for those selected to attend. It will enable them to get acquainted with other NAEB engineers, and we hope it will provide the solution to many of their technical problems as well as improve the quality of their transmitted signal. ****** Now for a brief run down on the trip mentioned in our opening paragraph. We left Champaign-Urbana Sunday morning, March 11, arriving in Columbus that evening for the NAEB Consultation Team Visit (see story on page 2) at WOStt-TV March 12, 13, and 14. After the visit, we left Columbus Wednesday afternoon only a few minutes late for a flight to Boston via Cleveland. We mention only slightly late since Armand Hunter’s and Ed Stasheff’s plane to Detroit and East Lansing was four hours late leaving Miami. We were delayed an hour (leaving Cleveland) and then almost made up most of this time en route to Boston thanks to a 90 m.p.h. tail wind. We spent Thursday (15) and Friday (16) at Boston University, with Dr. Leo Martin, Jim Bonney, Ted Nelson and Milan Barnes going over plans for their proposed radio and television studios. We also visited the building where the proposed studios are to be located, covering the entire building from roof to basement in an endeavor to determine the most advantageous location which could be adapted for radio and television. We were there to experience first hand the ’’Blizzard of 1956” which so effectively tied things up in Boston and New England. However we managed by
