test

Congratulations. You passed.

 

Just barely, though. I expect to see better work from you in the future.

 

This is a test and only a test in an actual emergency you would have been informed of where to turn for additional information.

{How do you guys get those pics to post??}

 

Surround with image tags that are IMG enclosed in square brackets to start, and /IMG in the brackets to end, with the URL in the middle.

 

Speaking of old, who else here remembers the predecessor to the now defunct Emergency Broadcast System....the old Conelrad system for civil defense.

Tune to 640 or 1240 in a time of emergency. Radios even had the civil defense logo on their dials at those frequencies.

 

Wow...I've stumbled into the "geezer thread!"

 

Thanks, Magnetic Poles

Now, how do I isolate the image URL from the rest of the page?

 

Right Click on the image and select "Copy Image Location" The test pattern location was http://www.videouniversity.com/indian_h.jpg, so this is what I put inside the image tags.

So, here is the old NBC test pattern (I hope):
