[n2lxm at juno.com]

Just in case anyone wants to come.


The Ocean-Monmouth Amateur Radio Club would like to invite you to an
informal open house for radio amateurs at the N2MO Station at InfoAge on
January 10th, 2015,starting at 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

The N2MO Station occupies a site rich in history:

On the morning of 10 January, 1946, An experiment was conducted by Lt.
Col. John DeWitt, W4ERI,  Edwin King Stodola,W2AXO   F. Slacker W2DMD,
Herbert Kaufman,  W2OQU, and Jacob Mofensen.  A series of radio signals
were transmitted, and in each case, the echo was picked up in exactly 2.5
seconds, the time it takes light to travel to the moon and back.   We
know this experiment as Project Diana.

in 1959,  the US Army Signal Research and Development Laboratory 
deployed the  TLM-18 telemetry antenna. The 18 Meter dish was used as a
ground station supporting the  TIROS I and TIROS II  satellites. The
TLM-18 was used by the US Army until the site was decommissioned in the
mid 1970's

InfoAge, OMARC,  and our academic partner, Princeton University are
restoring the 60' TLM-18 Telemetry antenna system to use for radio
astronomy and EME.  The project team has restored power to the TLM-18,
rebuilt the the drive system, and deployed computer controls.

Work continues on deployment of upgraded feed lines, new feed horns, and 
SDR /digital receivers.
