Our friend Maureen Nevin Duffy of the Asbury Park Press ran an excellent
article "A PLACE IN HISTORY: Marconi's Jersey Shore Think Tank
Still Striving".
The first line: "Some endeavors are
just too innately important to let fail".
Thank you Maureen and Thanks
to our volunteer efforts Camp Evans will have a future in education as a
National Historic landmark. Maureen also covered the NJNG donation and
our happy reaction to it.

NJARC "DXpedition" coming in November
The New Jersey Antique Radio Club (NJARC) will host a "DXpedition" at InfoAge on November 14-15, 2008.
This event will be a gathering of folks interested in using old radios. The objective is to see who can log the most stations from the farthest and most exotic locales using vintage radios from various eras of radio receiver design. We hope to have working examples of sets from every era from crystal set technology dating back to the turn of the previous century through the golden age of high performance vacuum tube powered communications receivers of the ninteen forties and fifties.
