Broadcasters Mourn Loss of Jack Sellmeyer

posted on 11.03.2023

Pioneering Broadcast Engineer Jack Sellmeyer passed away on November 2. He was 82.

Sellmeyer was the first recipient of TAB's prestigious George Marti Award for Engineering Excellence (2014).

Broadcasters remember him as one of the few engineers with experience in the broadcast equipment manufacturing environment, as station engineer and as a consulting engineer.

Additionally, many Texas engineers say he “wrote the book” on many of the practices and procedures that they use today.

He also pioneered the use of such techniques as moment-method modeling of AM directional antennas.

Sellmeyer is survived by his wife Jeannine and two sons, Scott and David.
