We are a non-profit professional organization of radio and television engineers who build, repair and update radio and television broadcast facilities. All broadcast engineers are welcome to join our group. Chapter 17 has 83 members, of which 27 are SBE certified. Most live and work in Minnesota and Wisconsin. We meet monthly to exchange ideas and increase skill level. There is also an annual summer picnic and holiday party in December. Many meetings are being held online during COVID.
There are no strangers, only engineers you haven't met.

Looking for new photos, to refresh this website. We're particularly after Shoreview climbers in action looking towards the city skylines. In particular, pictures happen to include the other area tower(s), or any other notable landmarks off to the side.
