We just had a frustrating week.

It all started when we went to install a computer. It seems that the guy doing the job built the unit to the size on the drawing. Unfortunately the drawing was incorrect. This entailed pulling out all those miles of wire. We decided that it would actually be easier to just move the computer rather than rebuild the consol. We did that but it took us the better part of a day. The computer is no longer in a sound proof enclosure and that may cause a problem but has not in testing. We are worried about our microphones picking up transient hum or fan noise.
We have the studio almost completed except for some small items that can be done anytime. Our new microphone booms, stands and spiders have not arrived but we can get through until that happens using our old system.
Our biggest concern was that we could broadcast news reports on the weekend, by Sept 19. If there is trouble we also need the capacity to send our news reports to Free Speech Radio News in the US as we are an affiliate station.
So we have a go if not 100% completed.
