Hi Gang, Well, I dug up that old VHS tape of mine, showing the 1888-KHz AM roundtablers of 13 years ago in all their fame & glory...
It's a 2 hour tape, recorded on high speed. The last entry --- mine --- was made on 21st May 1993...hardly the stuff of Smithsonian archives, but maybe just "...one of these days!" Hi Hi. Here are the self-recorded "stars" of the video, in order of appearance: -WB8JBT (Brian), recorded on 20th September 1992 (20 minutes); -KB8QF (Dave)---13 minutes; -WA8UMZ (Ron)...8 minutes; -WB8SQJ (Jay)...7 minutes; -N8JRJ (Steve)...13 minutes; -NI9Y (Dan); -KB8QF (Dave again, with an update); -N8CLZ; -N9PXE (Carl)...20 minutes, and, -VE3CUI (14 minutes). Any familiar-sounding callsigns up there...? If anyone wishes to undertake the task of putting all this onto a DVD, please let me know (I'm totally hapless & hopeless in this regard) --- I'll be more than happy to mail him/her this tape (which is the ONLY complete one around, apart maybe from the original...assuming Brian still has it), on but two conditions: (1) I must get it back A-OK, and in a timely manner, and, (2) Whomever it is that might convert it into a DVD, will make other copies available to interested parties (entirely at those parties' expense, of course). Does that sound fair, reasonable, & of any interest to anyone reading this...? If not, the tape will go back into my library of VHS cassettes here... ~73!~ Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ .. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Todd, KA1KAQ" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Discussion of AM Radio in the Amateur Service" <amradio@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Tuesday, September 19, 2006 10:36 AM Subject: Re: [AMRadio] VHS Video of AM Operators > On 9/19/06, Brian Carling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Eddy you really oughta make a DVD copy of that thing for posterity. > > VHS won't last forever! > > Absolutely!
