4 / n TV Technical Tips No. 23 <r> i 'fLr£.^ r by :: Cecil S. Bidlack, NAEB TV Engineer The NAEB Engineering Committee has discussed the possibility of establishing a pool of test equipment which might be available for use of NAEB members. It is often desirable and sometimes necessary for stations to use test equipment not normally owned by every radio and television station. For instance, a field strength meter is not equipment needed for routine maintenance of transmitting equipment. Certainly every station sometime has wished it could make a few field strength measurements or run at least four radials to get a rough idea of its field pattern. The Committee is not proposing the NAEB purchase such equip¬ ment; some stations have test equipment they would be willing to loan to others nearby. So the Committee has proposed that a question¬ naire be sent to all NAEB radio and TV stations. These stations would list the test equipment available. The data returned would be compiled into an inventory of test equipment. By referring to such an inventory, the location of the test equipment you need could be determined and a telephone call could make the necessary arrangements for its loan. Perhaps you would be hesitant to loan a $2,500 field strength meter; yet it has been done, the measurements made and the meter returned in first class shape. The Committee feels the plan will work, especially if the chief engineers concerned know each other.
