Los Angeles County EAS LECC Chair. California EAS SECC vice chair. The first chapter on Part 74 frequency coordination for the 7th Edition of the NAB Engineering Handbook and the first chapter on broadcast facility disaster preparedness and recovery for the 8th Edition. Both aspects of southern California life keep Rudman busy at KFWB, which has been all-news since 1968. We have an extensive two-way radio system, which allows us to cover stories anywhere in the county.
Reporters have cell phones and a lot of dedicated lines and receivers for two-ways.
My core responsibility is to be a service department. Previously, Rudman was director of engineering for four stations. Now, each Infinity station in Los Angeles has its own director of engineering, each of whom answer to the corporation's west coast director of engineering, Scott Mason. That means more than maintaining two-way radios and upgrading the computer network. KFWB conducts several major remote broadcasts each year.
