Quoting Ryan Schweitzer <rds at bis.midco.net>:

> Hello all,
>
> I've been subscribing to this list now for the past couple of   
> months, mainly "lurking" it and being a quiet observer, but I felt   
> that I should "step up" and introduce myself.
>
> My name is Ryan Schweitzer, and I've been a dedicated A/V geek for   
> most of my 33 years, having been involved in, or volunteered for, or  
>  employed in broadcasting (both TV and radio) off and on for the  
> past  20 years or so here in ND where I live.  I've had a keen  
> interest in  broadcast technology (video especially) for just as  
> long, and I'm  glad to be a part of this list.
>
> I also like to collect vintage professional/industrial & consumer   
> video gear (I have a scrounged-together video studio set up in my   
> 2nd bedroom of my apartment, mostly made up from surplus/castoff/2nd  
>  hand gear), complete with Alta Pyxis video switcher and   
> Premiere-based NLE system, along with miscellaneous cameras, 16mm   
> telecine projector (a Magnatech Enterprises-modified Elmo CL16 w/   
> 5-blade shutter and XLR audio out), DVD recorder, a CG,   
> 3/4"/Hi8/Betamax/VHS VCRs, FTA satellite reciever (with re-purposed   
> Primestar dish :)) and what not.  All I need is a transmitter &   
> antenna, and I could practically set up my own pirate TV station :).  
>   I've also got a few old Panasonic EIAJ-format decks, an ancient   
> Sony CV-2100, and a intermittently tape-eating Sony BWV-40 Betacam   
> deck in storage as well.
>
> Amongst my collection I also have two Quad tapes as well, one of   
> them a episode of a news magazine produced by a local TV station   
> (KXJB in Fargo, ND) dating from 1976, and a spot reel from 1975   
> containing a localized promo for the Jerry Lewis MDA telethon for   
> another local station here where I live (KXMB in Bismarck, ND),   
> starring Jerry Lewis and my late father, who worked at the station   
> in the 70s as a production director & on-air personality (and my   
> influence for being interested in b'csting).  Both are high-band   
> color tapes, IIRC, I'd like to get these transferred (especially the  
>  MDA spot), I know quite a few of you on this list are more than  
> able  to so such.
>
> Anyhow, I find this list quite interesting, considering my keen   
> interest in the 2" quad format (what with its historical and   
> technological significance), and I'm glad to be a part of it...
