Dick -- The term video was used in the generic sense. However, I think most all of the committee members assumed the "video" would be along the lines produced in "Amateur Radio Today." That is, mostly video CDs but some video tapes for those without CD access. And, just like the previous video, it could be downloaded from the ARRL web site. 73, Rod At 05:30 PM 1/5/2004 -0600, you wrote:

Hello Rod...
Was there any discussion about the format(s) to be used for the recruitment videos? I believe mailing, handling, duplication, and storage of video CDs is now cheaper (or at least no more expensive) than video tapes. Does anybody have an idea which format would reach more people? How many "Amateur Radio Today" CDs were produced and distributed vs video tapes?
In the public at large, there are probably still more video tape players/ recorders in use than video CD players/recorders. However, in our target audience of younger people who are more technically inclined (both licensed and un-licensed) I would bet the number of DVD and CD players/recorders now out outnumber the video tape players/recorders.
Perhaps the format to be used has not yet been decided and the motion has been kept generic for this reason?
