Supply Lines – CCBE hosts 69th annual Career Development Conference

The Association of Central Canada Broadcast Engineers (CCBE) held its 69th annual Career Development Conference from Sept. 26-29 in King City, ON that saw delegates attend from as far away as England, France, Italy, South Africa, and even Australia. This year’s CCBE Awards saw Russ Jenkins awarded the CCBE Lifetime Achievement Award. Jenkins, at age 77, is still a part of the transmitter engineering team at CKLW Windsor. This year’s CCBE Engineering Excellence Award recipient was Frédéric Vendette, director of radio engineering for Bell Media Quebec, for completing an FM antenna replacement in Quebec City; adding auxiliary transmitters in Montreal, St. John & Drummondville; and stabilizing major grounding issues at CKGM in Montreal. Darrin Paley of Ron Paley Broadcast was named the Bob Norton Ambassador of the Year. Read our conference coverage courtesy Sean T. Craig, CCBE Treasurer, here.
