[BC] Staffing levels

[Douglas Pritchett]

I remember those days, too. I also remember the consoles as well as
other audio gear used tubes. And transmitter readings had to be made
every thirty minutes. Base currents had to be read before and after
pattern changes. All the towers had to be illuminated, equipment
needed to be moved, setup, taken down, for large scale remote
broadcasts. There was more paper work, more stylii to change, more
tape heads to be changed.
So, things are different today. The demands on the position are
different, staffing models are different. It's not really apples to
apples anymore.
