// Briefing
A regional network learns a relay is down when listeners phone in — which for a night transmitter can be hours of dead air before anyone official knows. The relays report telemetry; nothing was listening to it for silence.
DEAD_AIR listens. Every relay's carrier and audio level lands in SQLite, a Svelte board draws the region as a strip of signal traces, and a flatline pages the duty engineer before the first listener reaches for the phone.
// Highlights
- — Detection in seconds, not hours
- — One board for 30 relays
- — Runs on the transmitter-site PC
