It was the first I heard of it, but then I am not a survivor of the
broadcast industry...

The Order of the Iron Test Pattern is over 25 years old. Once upon a time we
had 2-3000 members. In those days, you had to be in broadcasting 15 years to
apply. That is no longer necessary. Now, like then, you had to be a survivor
of the broadcast industry. That can be true of someone after their first
day. There are no fees, dues, etc. We do sell certificates to hand on your
wall, which come with 2 guarantees. And we have lapel pins. We do an annual
awards meeting at NAB every year. One year we gave the Iron Couch Potato
award to Gene Pooley. Pooley, while working for Zenith many years ago,
invented the remote control - thereby making possible couch potatoes. It's a
toung-in-cheek group and we're out to have good clean fun.
