September 2011
Today involved transporting all of the required transmission equipment to Aintree Hospital to ensure it was all working correctly in anticipation of a live transmission of a forthcoming event. The weather was absolutely atrocious and it was no mean feat to get the gear up and down steps and onto/off the train. Fortunately for Helen, she let me do all the hard work!
Once there, Helen and I tested the ISDN line to ensure there would be no problems with transmission on the day of the event. I assisted Helen in setting up the equipment and there were some very interesting bits and bobs (notably, a piece of equipment which resembled a large orange siren).
I understand that it is imperative to carry out tests such as this to ensure the smooth running of the event and associated broadcasts. Without a signal - there cannot be a live broadcast. Fortunately all was well and we are now all set for our forthcoming event, we just need to plan exactly what it is we wish to do. So it's back to the hospital next week for a planning meeting.................
