profitable commercial business; always worked on the engineering side; also started
the first commercial radio in India with NewsCorp in 2001 and 2002. 40 years and counting
in this fascinating business. Technological change has been unbelievable in this time
frame: from installing tube tranmsitters and early cart machines early on to installing
the latest digital audio delivery and storage and HD digital transmission equipment now;
from rotary dial telephones to VOIP; I still enjoy some of the early technology, the RF
side of AM radio."
