Connecticut, June, 2005

The great thing about this hobby is that there are few enough other people doing it that you get a pretty good chance to meet most of them, and share contacts. We've been friends with Mike Fitzpatrick of NECRAT for a few years now. Not only does Mike keep the cathodes hot at WWLP-TV (22/11 Springfield), but he recently became chairman of the SBE chapter in the Connecticut River Valley. Mike came along with us for our Boston adventures on Wednesday, June 8, and he was kind enough to reciprocate on Friday by arranging for tours of Hartford transmitter sites with Rick Walsh of Clear Channel, John Ramsey of WCCC/WTMI (who also does contract work for many smaller operators in the area), and Jeff Hugabone of Infinity.

The galleries for this trip are organized by state:
