[FARC] R & T Museum trip

[Jeff Fishman]

Greetings All,

Shake off those mid-winter blahs and join members of FARC, MADXRA, ARES, RACES, REACT, The Philo Farnsworth Fan Club, et al., for breakfast and a fieldtrip to the Radio and Television Museum in Bowie, MD, on Sat., January 29th. We are planning to meet at 8:30 AM for breakfast at the Bob Evans Restaurant at FSK Mall, and then carpool over to the museum around 9:30 - 10:00. This should be an interesting trip with lots of vintage memorabilia and gear on display. Check out their site at www.radiohistory.org. Also, a great chance to make those rare visual QSOs with those folks you talk to all the time on the bands.

Talk-ins will be on the 147.060 MADXRA machine, and 146.520 or 146.580 simplex when out of range of the repeater. If the weather is bad, we will go on the following Sat. (same arrangements). A go/no go decision will be made by 8 AM, and will be announced on the .06 machine if conditions threaten. If you want to skip breakfast and meet us there, plan to do so approx. 11 AM and tell them you're with the Frederick group.

Please let me know by 1/27 if you plan to go, so that I can give the restaurant and the museum a count. There is no admission charge, but since the museum is opening 2 hrs. early for us, a small donation would be appreciated.

I hope to see everyone on the 29th!
