CMTO’s mid year Tech Blitz

Earlier this year, the Community Media Training Organisation and Technorama collaborated on the first Station Tech Blitz at 2RRR, Gladesville, Sydney, and by the end of the course both studios had been pulled apart and refurbished by volunteers from the station and from other stations in the area, who can now take those skills back to their own stations.

Following the success of the Tech Blitz, the CMTO are offering 2 community stations the chance to take part in a similar program between May and June this year.
  
This class is aimed at:

  • Technologists who are on the journey to full proficiency
  • Technologists who are ready to be immersed in a “master class” environment to bring skills to the next level
  • Stations which have two or more studios and where maintenance has been problematic

 
The key learning areas for the Station Tech Blitz involve:

  • Reviewing station documentation
  • Itemising a ‘fix list’ for the station
  • Understanding, creating and applying block diagrams to map your technology
  • Identifying technological issues and maintenance strategies through team planning
  • Stripping, reassembling and maintaining studio-based equipment

 
Ideally, participants should possess the ability to read and interpret a basic circuit diagram, confidently use a soldering iron and multimeter and work with small assemblies
 
The CMTO is calling for expressions of interest from interested stations by March 29.
