Notes from our September, 2024 meeting:

SBE Chapter 20 held our monthly meeting Wednesday, September 11th 2024 at WPXI-TV 4145 Evergreen Rd, Pittsburgh. There were 10 members and guests in attendance, including virtual attendees.

The meeting began with some announcements on upcoming SBE webinars and events. SBE Midwest Broadcast and Multimedia Technology Conference is October 2nd and 3rd at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. PAB Members can register for $55 before September 18th. There was also discussion of sending out a survey to members to learn what meeting times will work best going forward as well as topics that would interest them.

We had an in-person presentation on Tower Lighting and Tower Lighting regulations from Jamie Marsh of Lumenserve. A three-part presentation was shown with Rules and Regulations, various lighting that could be used on a tower, and offerings from Lumenserve. The PowerPoint presentation was sent out to members following the meeting.

It was decided to meet again in one month on October 9th in the WPXI Executive Conference Room.
