For setting up the various transmitters, conversing on the air to the folks who remotely operated things from their distant control rooms. Whenever one seemed to have lost contact the first place they called was to us. So we would check and see if the transmitter was functioning properly. When there was an infrequent power outage, everyone would go off air while our diesel generator started and got up to speed. In the mean time everyone involved would be telephoning us. We had both telephone and on air contact channels with the various entities control rooms.
