Hi all
Before we get into what we’ll be doing next week, we’d just like to say
that it is very painful for us to see all the destruction in Texas,
Louisiana the other parts of the south where nature has played such a
devastating hand. We've done presentations in many of those communities
where the hurricanes have taken their toll. Our prayers and best wishes
for a speedy recovery go out to all. We’ve not sent any e-mail or tried
to contact the folks we’ve met as we know they have more serious issues
to address and deal with than e-mail from us at this time.
This next week will take The Tech-Notes Taste of NAB 2005 Road Show to
Western Wisconsin. Our first presentation in October will be on Monday,
October 3^rd in Eau Clare, Wisconsin where we’ll do our presentation for
SBE Chapter 112, and anyone else who would care to attend our
educational event, at the Community Television facility. Things will
begin with a Pizza Bar at 6:30 PM followed by the Taste of NAB 2005 Road
Show presentation at 7 PM. For details (map, etc.), please visit:

We’ll then be taking a few days off as we head for Omaha, NE, Wyoming,
Montana, Washington and finally home to Oregon.
To see a schedule of the remaining venues for this year, please visit:
http://www.tech-notes.tv/2005/2005-2.htm as we continue our trek west.
You can also see where we’ve been and pictures of the venues completed.
Here’s hoping to see you at one of these places. If you do come, step up
and say hi.
You do NOT have to be a member of SBE and/or SMPTE to attend any of
their functions. Anyone with an honest interest in broadcast technology
is *_most_* welcome. There are no admission fees and you might even win
one of the door prizes.
To date, we’ve received almost 160 E-mail this year alone about what
we’ve done. You can see what your fellow engineers are saying about this
year’s presentation at: http://www.tech-notes.tv/2005%20Comments.pdf

Typical of the e-mail’s we’ve received is this one received within the
past day or so:

Dear Mr. Bloomfield,
I wanted to thank you for the opportunity to attend the NAB Road Show at
the Harris plant in Mason, OH. This is the second year I have attended
and have found the presentation to be valuable to our planning efforts
for new purchases. This year the Road Show was very timely, as we are in
the process of purchasing new equipment and found a few of the items you
presented to be just what we needed. As a direct result of your
presentation we purchased 30 Henry Matchbox interfaces and a Leader
signal generator.
Also, I wanted to thank you for your willingness to discuss and answer
questions we had about Henry and the Leader products when we called you
a couple of days after the show. We were looking for an end-user opinion
from someone who had experience with several manufacturers’ products,
not just a company salesman who was trying to hard-sell their products.
Though every product has its benefits and deficits your ability to
streamline the comparison process and highlight the strengths of these
products was instrumental in the purchase decision when time constraints
wouldn't allow us to see these differences through demonstration.
Thank you for your insights,
James Graham

Larry,
Thank-You for presenting in Milwaukee this year. I was extremely
impressed. Not only did I take away information about new products, but
I took away the message about how important it is for engineers to
maintain their professionalism in this world of do now, ask questions
later. Fortunately I work for a very good employer, but I think your
message is very important to those who do not.
Thank -you,
Thomas J. May
Chief Engineer
