  • Broadcast Engineering the North
    Broadcast Engineering the North The Acquaintance One sunny afternoon in September 2016, while driving in downtown Tuguegarao City, licensed Professional Electronics Engineer Grant Ramones noticed a makeshift broadcast antenna on top of a three- storey building that housed one of the oldest FM radio station in the city. The antenna was obviously used by the said FM station as an emergency radiator after a strong typhoon hit the area, bending the tower down and breaking the antenna elements. Being an experienced Broadcast Engineer, Ramones knew the antenna was not appropriate for FM broadcast applications. He searched for the web site of Forefront Radio Network (FRN), the company who owned and operated the FM station, and sent an email to the address on the web site, writing to them about his observations of the antenna and the reasons why the antenna was not fit for FM broadcast applications. He ended the email by providing his contact number. Moments later, Ramones’ phone rang. It was Mr. Jesus Galvente, the President and CEO of FRN. Galvente commended Ramones on his insights and asked to hear more. The conversation then continued with exchanges in views and opinions on radio broadcast operations and the future plans of the network. Galvente described his plans for the network, which were twofold: 1) to improve its listenership over other radio stations in areas where there was presence of an FRN station, and 2) to improve network profit. Particularly, the network planned to have simultaneous broadcast among all its FM stations – also known as “chain broadcasting.” Chain broadcasting or simultaneous broadcasting required connecting all FRN provincial stations that were strategically operating in key places in northern Luzon.
