What about the NHK analog HDTV in Japan? Though, I understand that it was discontinued.

"MUSE" worked reasonably well in satellite bandwidths, but the extreme subsampling required to fit it into 6 MHz for terrestrial use made the picture quality inferior.  It had only one motion vector for the whole image, which helped for camera panning, but resulted in inferior rendition of individually moving objects.  When the digital proposals were introduced, MUSE was effectively eliminated from the U.S. competition.

Nope, never met him.  It might have been possible, but never happened.  I was born in 1944, so he was the preceding generation, really.  He was writing his first TV engineering books before I had ever seen television.  His last notable contribution to TV was a paper arguing that there was no practical way to get to analog high definition in a reasonable bandwidth, which spurred others to develop our digital HDTV systems.

While still off-topic (sorry), I found in Fink's bio here:

that he was instrumental in setting up LORAN, the nav system that was just recently shut down in favor of GPS.
