Keysight Scope Month feedback

[Deridex]

Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to Keysight and Daniel for the Scope Month. 
I'm looking forward to next year. Maybe i'm lucky then.

[S13]

Yes, congratulations to all winners. Quite a few of them are on this forum, so the odds are actually very decent

Thank you Daniel for hosting and q&a, and please include The Netherlands in the eligible list for next years give away!

as a working australian i found it very difficult to have a fair chance at winning one of these scopes in the end i didnt participate the last 2 times just out of the sheer disappointment felt knowing i had zero hope and you probably seen me comment on some of the videos. im sure its been asked but my only question is why was the contest run so diversely in australia and canada in comparison to australia ?  i know i just sound like sour puss now.

Has anybody been given any shipping info yet?

Daniel, the scope month was very exciting and left me drooling over the advanced features of the 4000 series and the responsiveness of the 1000 series (I have an "R" brand 4000 series).

I didn't win anything, but as a consolation "prize" I got myself two NOS Keysight DMMs from a fire sale at an electronics store. I am shooting a review for my channel.

One question, though: you mentioned that some of the winners could not receive the oscilloscopes and there would be some re-drawn names. Did this happen yet? I couldn't find anything on the Keysight FB or YT channels.

[Keysight DanielBogdanoff]

The re-draw hasn't happened yet, and won't happen until we get paperwork from the original winners. I'll try to remember to post here once that happens.

[dentaku]

Do you wait for all the paperwork from the winners to be sorted before sending them out?
I'm assuming Canadian winners like myself aren't too much trouble other than the bizarre skill testing question requirement

I checked my e-mail a few minutes ago and saw two from Keysight. One was the e-mail saying that your country isn't eligible and the other was the e-mail saying "PLEASE DISREGARD THE EMAIL THAT WAS JUST SENT OUT
THERE WAS AN ERROR WITH OUR DATA THAT SENT THE INELIGIBILITY EMAIL TO ALL WINNERS."
Wow, that was a relief. 

[dentaku]

Has anybody been given any shipping info yet?

No, not yet. I'm assuming they've got lots of different laws from all the different countries to deal with.

Daniel,

Thank you for the contest. Please have an email sent to the address entered to verify that you received the entry. It was unclear if entries went through ok. Some browsers popup blocker would block the "thanks for entering" message. Also explain the facebook popup thing after entry. It was unclear if FB was needed or not.

[Keysight DanielBogdanoff]

Noted!

Wow! The Test to Impress contest fished out some serious talent this year. Fantastic to see that.

I want to make friends with the winner and learn from him. What a cool project.

[rsjsouza]

Same here; the winners have the power to put their scopes to serious work indeed! I am thoroughly impressed.

Some of the Test To Impress people would make good Amp Hour guests.

Totally - start with one of last year's winners, lol.

So, your recommendation is for sure: The high tech water heater inventing lady. Correct...?   

[rx8pilot]

It is safe to say that many people want to know how a 6Ghz SMPS for induction heating is saving the world, lol.

[84GKSIG]

is there an australian price list for these scopes ? and 2 as a hobbyist will the prices make me cry ?

[Brumby]

There are some MRSP out there.

and...

Probably.  Just Google a model number and pick a merchant...

[FireFlower]

So will we get our scopes soon now eastern holidays are over and 2 weeks have passed since last draw?

My myDaq just keeps crashing and constant rebooting is not the way to go 

[Brumby]

It is getting closer, but I wouldn't be holding my breath just yet.....

The scopes should ship directly from the factory to the winners within 6 weeks from 31-Mar. It's much, much easier to deal with fulfillment all at once. But, if you have something going on and just can't wait to get your scope, it's potentially possible to get some out the door earlier. To make that happen, talk to the individual that contacts you with the winner info & forms.

FYI, there will be a text list of all winners once all winners have been finalized, and all winners will receive an e-mail with info if they haven't already. In the next couple weeks there will be an offline re-draw for any winners that were ineligible or choose not to accept, and those winners will be contacted via e-mail but not announced on YouTube.

Thanks for a great month, I'll be back online on Monday!

The re-draw hasn't happened yet, and won't happen until we get paperwork from the original winners. I'll try to remember to post here once that happens.

... and, once shipped, they still have to find their way to the recipients.  It could still be mid-May before they turn up.

Brumby, it is funny how your post just highlighted the date in Daniel's mention about a redraw...
