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.
More information is available on the New Jersey Antique Radio Club website.
