Scope Month 2017 Megathread

[cheeseit]

Well, I didn't win but anyway, thank you Keysight and especially Daniel! It was a again a fun thing to follow and participate in and maybe I'm lucky next year.

[bitseeker]

Yep, can't win 'em all. I shall be looking forward to playing again next year!

[Fred27]

After entering every day last year and most days this year I almost didn't bother today, but what do you know - I think I won the last one. Just got an email saying I won a DSOX1102G. Awesome - thanks Keysight. :-)

[bitseeker]

Wow, congrats Fred! Just goes to show that it ain't over 'til it's over.

[carl_lab]

Daniel,
 
is there an official list of the winners 2017?

Or do I have to watch all daily youtube videos?

Will the winners be informed by e-mail?

[Fred27]

I'd better get on with filling out those forms and moaning about the tax. ;-)

Wow, nice! I was just going to ask if anyone here won. I entered every day and didn't win but that's expected, I never win anything anywhere. Not that I really need another scope.

[bitseeker]

Who said anything about needing another scope. Is there such a thing as too many scopes?

[DimitriP]

Yep, can't win 'em all. I shall be looking forward to playing again next year!

Why  isn't May Tektronix oscilloscope month ?

[bitseeker]

The thread was started by Keysight, but I guess since the subject line doesn't specify the manufacturer, all scope months are fair game.

[amitchell]

Thank you Daniel!

[Keysight DanielBogdanoff]

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!

[bitseeker]

Thank you, Daniel and the Keysight team!

[yuzuha]

Thank you.
guess I'll have to keep my Tek 465b polished up for another year 

[Deridex]

I didn't win one, but i did not expect it. Guess there is quite alot people who enter there.
But i gotta thank Keysight and Daniel for the Chance

I still want to buy one of the 1000x scopes for my basic needs and portable troubleshooting in the field. Lots of bang for the buck and I can use it for the more risky jobs.

[palindrom71]

Scopemonth is over and now anyone who knew about it will consider buying him/herself a scope. It was a good idea to bring 1000 series into market, but it would be a great idea to hit Rigol market share harder. Not that I'm market competition fan.. Well, maybe I am but budget level is challenging and probably Keysight did a great job in pushing budget scopes sales mostly for their competitors.

Day 32, still no scope in possession 


So 3 scopes for "Team Finland eevblog", how many others?

So any news of the redraws, shipping etc? 

[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.

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.

Perhaps the scopes might not have arrived yet - but I think that list of winners can't be too far off.

Redraws haven't been drawn yet, we're trying to make that internal tracking stuff as easy as possible. Scopes are shipping out today! We're checking with the Malaysia team about how long shipping will take, and if you won and got us your paperwork back you should get an e-mail from us in the next 48 hours with details.

For the re-draw, we want to make sure we know how many people are rejecting the prize so we can do the redraw stuff in one batch.

[bitseeker]

Thanks for the update, Daniel. Still have my fingers crossed.

I have not been asked to fill any paperwork out, is this required for Canada?

[Keysight DanielBogdanoff]

PM me, thanks!

Hmm.. So everyone who sent in the paperwork should have gotten an e-mail by now?
I sent my papers on March 11 so hopefully nothing went wrong with the attachments.

Is there any way I can find out if my papers were received and accepted?
On March 11 I DID get the automated e-mail saying "Thanks for the e-mail! This account is monitored, and you should receive a response (as appropriate) within a few business days or less." after sending off the papers. I never got back anything other than that mistaken e-mail everyone got and the message saying to ignore the previous message.
