If I may,

    I would like to ask all of the TV engineers involved in the analog 
shutoff to do one simple thing:

Video tape it.

    I know, in many cases one could dial up the remote control and shut 
down the analog.
But this is a historic moment. Use a station camera or a simple cam 
corder. Then put a twenty second wrap around it, and put it up on You Tube.
Label it "Analog Shutoff WXYZ", so we can all find them.

Twenty years from now, when we are all in our rocking chairs at my new 
broadcast engineering retirement home, "Sign-off Acres", we can look at 
the videos, after we transfer them to 16 mm, and watch them on our Bell 
and Howell movies projectors!

    Most seriously, please pass the word and ask all TV engineers to 
video tape the moment.
