[SBE] 4 more months? Slight, hopefully positive thread drift..

[Jerry Paonessa]

Y'know, Tom...
 
I proposed doing a live Special Report from our analog transmitter site the night we turn it off (whenever that may be) but it was brushed aside.  Apparently the analog era will fade into history with no ceremony at all at our station.
 
I'll tape it, though, with my little 8mm video camera and inexpensive microphone, for any who want to watch it on You Tube or wherever it winds up.
 
Best regards,
