John Boehm of Clear Channel Radio Chicago praises Dr. Jim White's consulting on the John Hancock Center FM station combiner system operation. Presently, Dr. Jim White is designing a new master/backup antenna coax switch system.

"Dr. Jim, thanks so much for all of your system integration efforts on our Clear Channel FM RF transmission systems at the John Hancock Center in Chicago. I really like what you have done with all aspects of the Shively FM combiner system, the new BDI controller system, the organization of the combiner room, the new Dielectric transmission line pressurization system, and your design ideas of the new main and backup antenna system coax switch. Dr. Jim White, you are a one in a million RF expert!"

"I want to take this opportunity to thank all who were involved with the rebuilding of the Hancock Center Master FM monitor/protection system. This was both a challenging and rewarding project for the working partnership between ERI and BDI. It was a pleasure to work with a solid group of professionals throughout the project. As manufacturers and suppliers of professional services both firms have gained a greater understanding of the challenges to today's broadcast engineering environment. We truly hope the installed system will allow all of you to do your jobs more easily and with the confidence that the combiner system is under constant vigil.

Special thanks go out to Keith Warner, Jim White and Mead Elliott who never lost their sense of humor throughout the project."

"Radio is big business. When you are off the air you are losing money and listeners. Management counts on engineering to "keep the engine on the tracks." Well sometimes the regular engineer is on vacation, on a different project or just has his hands tied up and cannot come up with a solution nor a repair in time. That is where Dr. Jim White comes in for us at WKQX Q101 Chicago. I searched long and hard for someone I could trust in the Chicago market to help me out along with backing me up 24/7/365. Jim fit all of our corporate credentials perfectly. I trust him with all of studio needs and especially with our transmission facility. He has a vast amount of knowledge concerning transmitters and RF design and maintenance. Chicago is also very fortunate to have Dr. Jim White available when it comes to the complex design of the Hancock combiner. I can sleep easier at night knowing that if I have a transmitter issue Jim can either be there to add assistance and support to any of my RF needs or be able to trouble shoot any issue I may have with the combiner. There is nothing like having a Doctor who makes house calls for all of your electronic, IT and RF ills."

"Jim White and his company have done a wonderful job in helping our company's radio stations get established. When our company took over our recently-purchased FM stations, the facilities were in complete disarray, with no working studio and transmitters that barely operated. With Jim's help, we were able to completely rebuild the facility and have the stations on the air within a few short weeks. In addition to his FM work, Jim recently helped fix the transmission facilities for one of our AM stations. He even helped with the design of our web site. Talk about full service!"
