[ARC5] The Radio Technology Museum

[Al Klase]

Folks,

As long as this came up, let me repeat this here:

It's Summer travel season, so consider paying a visit to the New Jersey 
Antique Radio Club's Radio Technology Museum <https://rtm.njarc.org/>
at InfoAge.  InfoAge is also the home of the The Military Technology 
Museum <https://www.facebook.com/mtmofnj/> of New Jersey.

Here's a recent independent review:


    The Radio Museum That Will Rewrite What You Know

The Radio Museum That Will Rewrite What You Know


*The radio history exhibit at InfoAge is one of the most thorough 
collections of its kind on the East Coast, and that is not an overstatement.

Rows of vintage radios, early broadcast equipment, telegraph systems, 
and wireless communication devices fill the space, organized in a way 
that traces the full arc of radio technology from its earliest 
experimental days to the modern era.

What sets this exhibit apart is that many of the items are operational. 
Guests can interact with working telegraph lines, try hands-on 
demonstrations, and in some cases, actually use the equipment.

A working Tesla coil sits in a side room alongside a hand-powered 
generator that demonstrates the difference in efficiency between LED and 
incandescent lighting. These are not props.

The depth of knowledge that the volunteer staff brings to this exhibit 
transforms a walk through old equipment into something closer to a 
masterclass in the history of human communication.*
