Looked great - and glad to see you got that uplink clearance sorted
There's one more New Year tradition that's being done a little differently, and that's the Vienna Philharmonic's concert. No audience in the hall this year, and the BBC's presenter will be in London. (Suppose I'd better get some sleep now as I'm getting it on air in the morning. Happy new year, all!)
It was only one of the many issues, which if we are ever able to meet over a beer this year I will tell you all.
Just home and watched my recording of it. As ever with a live show (it was not recorded earlier in the week - there is some rubbish on the internet at times! ) I spent the time looking at the kit and feeds and not the actual on air content.
I have to say it was far more enjoyable than the New Year 21 years ago, as I have explained here previously......
It wasn't until we went on air that I saw what the displays were - all the rehearsals earlier in the day were done looking at empty skies, which didn't give the flavour of what was to follow.
The only disappointment was that we didn't get the helicopter shots, as the weather was against us. However the lasers worked well against the mist.
Good luck with the Vienna Concert today!
With just twenty minutes to the New Year, there are lots of us RF engineers sat here ready to go with the live OB - the biggest in the UK I've done this year.
