The Journal of the Society of Cable
Television Engineers began publication in
October of 1975.
Bob Bilodeau President, SCTE stated its
purpose as:
Communications/Engineering Digest, the
Society's most recent and bold step forward,
is designed and styled with the same quality
of purpose as is the Society itself. The
raison d'etre is that of serving the
technical components of our industry with
information to help make each cable day
easier. (This task is further heightened by
the fact that cable days appear longer than
celestial days.) C/ED will be an outlet for
technical exploration, examination, and
problem solving. It will also be a
communications vehicle between readers in
the technical aspects of our
industry. In addition, it will provide
current information on our regulatory
requirements relating to measurements, proof
of performance and system operations as they
relate to the every day system technician.
In a broad sense, it will be an encyclopedia
of personalities involved in technical and
related aspects of the cable television
industry.
