[BC] Making engineering pay

[Sid Schweiger]

>>The real problem is the equipment is so much more reliable, that 
management thinks that they can get by, for long periods of time without 
an engineer.  The bad side of this is if you installed it all correctly 
it's a good chance that they will not have any problems without you.<<
 
That's fine, as far as it goes.  The rest of that "problem" is that more reliable equipment stays that way ONLY with regular attention and maintenance.  You can have a radio station full of the latest equipment, but if it's never tended to, never cleaned, never checked for proper performance, it will be more unreliable than the stuff we were dealing with 30 years ago.
