Chief among these for North America was the [DEW Line](https://www.dewlineadventures.com), a system of early-warning radar stations that stretched across Canada’s Arctic Circle territories, through Alaska and into the Aleutians as well as Greenland and Iceland. It operated into the 1990s prior to shutdown (although some of the DEW Line installations were converted for use with the modern North Warning System operated by [NORAD](https://www.norad.mil)). But not without the help of White Alice.

James Cridland advises radio’s leaders across the world – on radio’s multiplatform future, the effect of smartphones on radio listening, and radio’s place in social media. He writes about what happens when radio and new platforms collide – for Media UK and other websites and magazines. And works with the brightest brains to ensure radio remains relevant. On this episode, James describes RadioDNS, which he says is one of the key technologies for radio remaining relevant and useful to a mass audience.

But why is it important? And what does it say? [AES67](https://www.aes.org/standards/blog/2013/9/aes67-2013-audio-over-ip-130911) is important because for years, the industry wanted a standard to address interoperability, and now, it has one. The emphasis on interoperability is important as it’s been a longstanding concern of audio engineering professionals as new technologies continue to develop.

They’ve got more than a few victory laps in their record books: Since MRN’s first broadcast – the 1970 [Daytona 500](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daytona_500) – they’ve aired hundreds, if not thousands of races. And not just the premiere events of the [NASCAR Sprint Cup Series](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASCAR_Sprint_Cup_Series) - but the [NASCAR Nationwide Series](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASCAR_Nationwide_Series) and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series races as well. Doug Watson is the Chief Engineer for MRN, and he and his crew make the technical end of the broadcasts happen. Up until last year, MRN used two large trailers and one smaller trailer with analog equipment, but Doug decided it was time to modernize the operations.

Typically carrier current is implemented by feeding the RF signal into the AC power distribution system of building allowing for broadcasting over limited areas. Hence, its widespread use among student-run college radio stations. This month's trip to the attic turned up a dusty but functional LPB RC-6A carrier current transmitter, along with its coupler and test gear.
