BABES/SBE LUNCHEON ON WEDNESDAY Aug 30th
Our guest will be Kathleen Imhoff from C.A.E.R. They have the task of keeping the public informed when an emergency occurs in Chemical Alley. Recently they removed the EAS based equipment they installed a few years ago and replaced it with packet radio gear to monitor the EDIS transmitter on Mt. Diablo. We'll learn what that's all about.

You can view a PDF of the presentation here. Ms. Imhoff also passed out EDIS filtering sofware for those that need to manage their EDIS feeds.

As usual, our luncheon will be at Sinbad's just south of the Ferry Building on the Embarcadero near the foot of Mission St. We meet at 11:30 and are seated at 12:30.

You've probably gotten a flyer by now regarding the SBE Ennes Workshops to be held at the Radisson Hotel on the Berkeley Marina on Saturday Oct 14th from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm.

Topics will include:

1. Aspect Ratio Conversion
2. Interactive Technology in US DTV
3. Video Transport Considerations Outside the Digital Studio
4. Time Compression for Broadcasters
5. Designing, Planning and Implementing a DTV Transmission Facility
6. Grounding, Lightning Protection and Designing of a Broadcast Facility
7. Amplifiers for UHF TV Transmitters

This is quite a feather in our cap to have an Ennes Workshop held here and we are looking forward to meeting members from chapters all over the country.

There may be some family squabbles when the wives see the Ikea store on their way to Berkeley.
