 Club News and Information

On April 2 the club, along with non-member guests, heard Bob Beck talk about the history of television, national television technical standards, the upcoming historic all digital broadcast conversion slated for February 19, 2009, and details on what High Definition TV is all about.

The presentation was lively, with much interaction among the attending group.  Everyone enjoyed the presentation.

At the suggestion of those in attendance, below is a MS Word version of Bob's presentaion.  Additionally below are all the web links Bob referenced in his document.

Wearc wishes to thank Bob Beck, W2FKG, for all the hard work putting this presentation together, plus soldiering through a flu-ish illness which left him nearly voiceless. (We would have listened to the CW version Bob! Hi Hi)
