As much as anything, this is a shibboleth for people who walk in and look at your plant. Like laced cable bundles.

In my case, the network side and the broadcast side have both been major interests for me for a long time; I worked in my votech HS's "radio station" with a 4-knob RCA and Big Tables, so while I'm not an expert on either side, I'm probably pretty close to equivalent in both. RF? Well, even though I got my first ham ticket in 81... not so much anymore. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
