Giovanni Manzoni b. circa 1950 Civatavecchia, Lazio, Italy is a noted videographer specializing in the avante garde use of YouTube in ham radio homebrew settings. Long noted for his insistence on the use of completely home-made video equipment, Manzoni went so far as to demand that his cameras and recorders only use discrete components -- he claimed that integrated circuits "freaked him out." Manzoni's collaborators have long been puzzled by his claim that all his videos are filmed "on location." What he means by this remains unclear, however, in a 1997 interview in QST-Italia, he was quoted as saying "No matter where you go, there you are!"

Having just finished listening to episode 167, I have a couple of observations. First, while I greatly enjoyed older episodes of the podcast, the newer episodes with Bill and Pete are outstanding; I learn a lot from the back-and-forth between you guys. Second, while I'm sure this isn't the first time you've heard this suggestion, I think an amateur radio tribal knowledge book would be a big hit. I'd certainly buy one.
