Hi everyone. just a quick reminder that this months gathering of the SBE 66 group will be on the last Tuesday of the month 3/28/2023. Instead of our regular day (last Thursday of the month). NBT Tours is making a stop in Fresno, and I wanted our SBE Ch-66 members, to have a chance to see products from the 20+ different manufactures NBT represents. more…

It was great to see all of you at the big dinner feast at Luna’s last month. Thanks for your vote(s) of confidence in reinstalling Tom Whitlock and myself as the SBE66 chair and vice-chair. Steve Dresser will continue as the Chapter’s Secretary-Treasurer doing his usual stellar job. Our winter weather has returned, but don’t let that keep you from attending our upcoming February meeting and no-host lunch at George’s in Fresno (see details just above my head). This will be our second time at George’s Bar and Grill, due to the great response from those who attended the December luncheon. As always bring along any broadcasting questions and concerns for us to address. See you there. more…

2022 was yet another very interesting and challenging year for all of us broadcasters who are still out there playing radio, TV and other venues. The SBE Chapter 66 officers; myself, Tom Whitlock, Steve Dresser, and SBE Signal editor Dennis Thompson, wish you all a very Happy and prosperous 2023. more…

I would like to thank Todd Lopes and our friends at Ventura Broadcasting Company for making our November pre-Thanksgiving meeting at KVPT a big success. Our attendance always seems to be a bit better when we can provide a meal–imagine that! more…

This month’s gathering of the Central Valley SBE group will be Thursday the 17th, a week early due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Our good friend Todd Lopes at Ventura broadcasting has arranged a special pre-Thanksgiving feast for all of us to enjoy at the meeting-thanks Todd and VBC! We will be gathering over at Valley PBS (KVPT CH18) at 6PM on Thursday the 17th. We would like to get an attendance count to help plan the meal, so please RSVP to me at (559) 266-1800 ext.380 or leave a message on the sbe-tech email forum. Guests are OK, just let us know. As always, bring any broadcasting question and concerns for our meeting we’ll have between all the culinary goodies. See you there.

This month’s gathering of the Central Valley SBE group will be Thursday the 30th at the Mitsui Buffet in Clovis, for a no-host lunch. I’ll be leaving you in the capable hands of SBE66 vice-chairman Tom Whitlock, as I’ll be involved with some AC must-do projects. See you all next month.

This month’s gathering of the Central Valley SBE group will be Thursday the 28th at the Mitsui Buffet in Clovis, for a no-host lunch. I was anticipating that we might have a few weary NAB travelers at the meeting since the show was scheduled to begin a day earlier. From the emails I’ve seen so far, it appears that many of you may still be travelling heading back to the valley as we are in progress. PBS didn’t pony up the funds for me to head out east to the show, so I’ll have to rely on those of you who were lucky enough to make it to the equipment booths for all the details. As always, please bring any local issues and concerns that you might have for us to discuss at the Thursday meeting. The staff at Mitsui would like us to pay as one group, so I’ll be collecting the lunch payments before you leave our meeting area. Looking forward to seeing you there.

Spring has sprung! This month’s gathering of the Central Valley SBE tribe will be Thursday the 31st at the Mitsui Buffet in Clovis. Although we have no scheduled presentation, the Dog & Pony are nowhere to be found, this is always a good time to discuss any local issues and concerns that you might have. This is also the time of the year that we look forward to ‘spring cleaning ‘at our mountaintop resorts we call transmitter sites. At least that is a good excuse to get away from the office and enjoy the mountains. If a trip up the hill is a bit long and winding, try the short trip to the Clovis Mitsui Buffet at Shaw and Minewawa this Thursday. Great food, and the fine staff at Mitsui will do the spring clean-up–see you there. more…

Steve Dresser will continue as the Chapter’s Secretary-Treasurer doing his usual stellar job. As the Covid-19 restrictions are beginning to be removed, hopes are that we will have more opportunities for informative meeting presenters at our monthly gatherings. Join the SBE66 crew this Thursday the 24th at the Mitsui Buffet in Clovis for our February meeting. It will be a no-host lunch beginning at noon–see you there.
