EEVblog #283 - Agilent U1732B Contest Draw

and the winner is...

[EEVblog]

The forum provides an easy way to gather, sort and select the entries.

I didn't think a video mentioning it was really warranted. I announced on my Youtube feed, so anyone subscribed to my channel had the opportunity to see it. Also announced on Twitter, the main blog site, and the forum. That's 4 different locations.

[EEVblog]

The first time? The Forum URL is in BIG BOLD LETTERS in EVERY VIDEO in the outro!!

[EEVblog]

That can be true of forums, but I find the EEVblog forum is different (and try to run it as such), and MUCH friendlier than some of the youtube comments in general (not yours!, just saying in general). Seriously, check out the wealth of info on the EEVblog forum and I think you'll be massively surprised.

First time I've heard you actually give the forum URL, Dave. It's a nice sunny Memorial Day holiday here in the states so next time we have torrential weather and I'm forced inside for a long period, I'll check it out. Our Aussie exchange student says Bonza Good Onya.

It's kinda like one of those Canadian "skill test" contests :->

[EEVblog]

And then I get accused of pushing people to my forum etc, and/or posting a useless video just to get more views, or I didn't wait long enough to give them a chance to see the video or whetever. Seriously, I can't win no matter which way I go. I posted the contest announcement on my Youtube feed, so everyone who subscribes to my Youtube channel had a chance to see there was contest.

You had to tell about the contest here on YouTube for those who aren't visiting your forum frequently.

Will there be an Agilent 90000 series oscilloscope contest? Hahaha, they are hundreds of thousands of dollars!

Congratulations to the winner. Unfortunately, I didn't know about it.

Oh man, saw the thread title on the forum but I figured it's just one of those US/Canada only contests on some website/online store and didn't access it... didn't bother clicking on it since I'm in Europe.

I'm so upset now...

[CrocoShack]

I love your work and your voice, man !

[RetroGamerVX]

What contest? not everybody is on the forum as we just like to watch and learn from your videos :o( Congrats to the winner though :o)

[RandyLott]

Maybe for the future there should be a very short contest indication video? I understand if you only want people that are active regularly to be a part of it, but I rarely look at those kinds of posts on the forum.

Is that program you wrote in C, C++, C#

[joshstube]

I think the point is to encourage more forum activity, or reward the loyal forum participants.
(btw, I didn't know either :(

[igwood]

I can't wait for the Agilent MSOX3104A contest!

[DLTX]

Congratulations dengorius, hardly see him around but hey, looks entire like a nice guy to me

[eried]

Some work required to win would be nice! Like a challenge or a puzzle, etc

[donpalmera]

/me hopes you do a contest for one of those expensive agilent scopes you have :D

[amtpdb]

I did not know about the contest. I watch all the videos, did not know I had to join the forum.
