The short certainly could be one cause of the recent strength. He could be gradually covering. This would provide some support. Scott

News Alert had this yesterday: <<TEKTRONIX: Tektronix to demonstrate 8-VSB broadcast measurement technology at NAB '98 Presswire - March 03, 1998 15:10 TEK ZE V%M2 P%M2PR M2 PRESSWIRE-3 March 1998-TEKTRONIX: Tektronix to demonstrate 8-VSB broadcast measurement technology at NAB '98 (C)1994-98 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD -- Technology will be used to perform required transmitter measurements Tektronix, Inc. (NYSE: TEK) today announced that it will demonstrate significant new 8-VSB (eight-level vestigial sideband) broadcast measurement capability at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) '98 Conference and Exhibition in Las Vegas, April 6-10. At NAB '98, Tektronix will show a set of measurement capabilities and an accompanying user interface that will be used to conduct the complete suite of tests required to install, maintain and monitor an 8-VSB transmitter. While digital transmission will enhance TV broadcasting with features like HDTV and data services, more care will be required to ensure that the highest quality signal is available to the consumer. The Tektronix 8-VSB measurement technology prefigures the user-friendly, cost-effective solutions that broadcasters need to make the transition from analog to digital television. "The 8-VSB measurement capabilities will be required by all broadcasters in the United States as they implement the new ATSC DTV standard," said Dan Terpack, President of the Measurement Business Division. "The Tektronix 8-VSB test suite will be important to broadcasters as they develop their digital television broadcast deployment plans and begin transmitting DTV signals beginning later this year," said Gary Sgrignoli, staff consulting engineer at Zenith Electronics Corporation. "Tektronix is demonstrating its commitment to the ATSC standard and the development of DTV." Zenith (NYSE:ZE) developed the 8-VSB digital transmission system adopted by the Federal Communications Commission as part of the ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) standard for terrestrial DTV broadcasts. Tektronix collaborated with Zenith on the 8-VSB test suite to create a system that is expected to be a reference for compliance with the ATSC standard. Tektronix will be showing the first test suite designed exclusively for 8-VSB measurements. The demonstration features remote control capability and the familiar Windows 95 interface. The demonstration also features a graphical display of signal quality measurements similar in format to those of the industry-standard Tektronix VM700 measurement system.
