Background

Experience & Approach

RF Technical is led by an engineer with over two decades of hands-on broadcast experience – from field engineering and studio build-outs to network-wide technical leadership.

The focus is simple: keep stations reliable, compliant, and sounding great, while speaking plain language with managers and programmers.

  • Experience with multi-site radio/TV networks and translators
  • Comfortable in the field, at the bench, and in IT racks
  • Clear documentation after each visit or project
  • Practical recommendations that respect budgets

Why Broadcasters Call RF Technical

  • You need a trusted contract engineer rather than a full-time staff position.
  • Your current engineer is overloaded and needs project help.
  • You have a site that’s constantly causing trouble.
  • You want a repeatable maintenance plan instead of crisis-only repairs.
