[FCARC] Special Event Station W3T (Nikola Tesla test lab)

[Craig Szczublewski]

I received this from our friends over at the TMRA and found it relevant:

Wardenclyffe, Nikola Tesla’s last laboratory will be on the air November 5th as 
special event station W3T!  Wardenclyffe is located in Shoreham, NY on Long 
Island.  W3T is part of a network of special event stations that are helping to 
raise awareness for the effort to purchase the laboratory and restore it into a 
science museum.  To read more about the effort to restore Wardencyffe, please 
check out http://www.teslasciencecenter.org.  The other stations in the network 
are N3Y which will transmit via satellite and possibly HF from the New Yorker 
Hotel, Tesla’s last home in Manhattan, and YU0TESLA which will transmit on 20m 
as well as other HF bands from the Tesla Museum in Belgrade.  For the latest 
updates on what frequencies to catch the stations on and a sneak peek at the QSL 
cards and QTHs, go to http://copaseticflows.appspot.com/teslaevent.

If you’re in the Shoreham area on the 5th, please stop by the station!

Also, be sure to check out the Radio Central Amateur Radio Club.  They will have 
the Marconi radio shack on the air a few miles away transmitting as a special 
event station commemorating the 90th anniversary of the opening of the RCA 
transmitting antenna farm in Rocky Point, NY.  More details are available at 
http://www.rcarc.org/.  Without the RCA club W3T would not be on the air.  Their 
help has been invaluable!

And, this just in, we are proud to announce that one more historic station will 
be on the air with us on the 5th of November, the Police Athletic League Amateur 
Radio Club of Yonkers, NY, a mere few meters from the site of the first FM 
transmission 66 years ago on November 5th of 1935 will be on the air with same 
call sign as the historic station: W2XAG.
