Quiet Evenings With the Radio

It’s not every night where I can sit and work on random projects until 1 in the morning, and it’s not every night where I can spend time talking strategy with my friends about how I’m trying to solve some home automation thing.

Tonight’s project was getting one of my older radios back up and working again. It had been relegated to a random storage bin, and I’ve finally been able to get it out of the bin, work on things, and bring it back to life. It’s not in the best shape, location, or tune, but, these are things that I can solve with time.

As I’ve gleefully told a lot of folks, the first really meaningful job I ever had was at a Radio Station. We had a few different radio stations there – one was more Mainstream/Contemporary Hit Radio (CHR), one Country, one was more Adult Contemporary, and one was more Standards oriented. I worked a lot of ball games and babysat equipment, for lack of a better term, and eventually, I’d pick up the Sunday morning “Hangover” shift full of religious programming on the AM Simulcast of the FM Standards station.
