Eighth Annual Quad Videotape Group Lunch at NAB 2015--Recap with Pictures!-Upcoming events--

Thu Apr 30 06:21:30 CDT 2015

Good morning on this last Thursday in April, 2015.,

Hope all the QuadList's NAB 2015 attendees have recovered!

Here are a few pictures from the Quad Videotape Group annual Lunch at NAB:

Beginning with pictures of early 1970s  Quad installations at
 KHOF-TV, 30, San Bernardino, California's transmitter site 
on Sunset Ridge above Claremont, California.

as shared by QuadList Member Joe Snelson, Jr. (then KHOF-TV Maintenance Engineer, now 
VP of Engineering, Meridth Local Media Group) 

The Ampex VR-1000 was sold to Faith Center by RCA, which had taken the unit in trade from KOA-TV, Denver, Colorado.  Inside the head cover was a note which said "Good Luck!"

Several Visual/Allen VA-50 Quad VTRs were added to the station's tech roster.

Joe had some comments about them, which I now wish I'd recorded.  I'll have to ask for a refeed.

(Maybe next year we need to arrange for a big HDMI-capable TV set at wherever we meet??  Bring a thumb drive, iPad or laptop and narrate a presentation!)

A robust round-the-table discussion of a variety of things-Quad ensued...

Here's Joe with (L-R) 
Ian Mackenzie from Frenchs Forest, New South Wales, Australia, 
Park Seward, VideoPark, near Grants Pass, Oregon...
