[MRCA] camp evans/nj antique radio club meet july 21

[Al Klase]

Folks,

I really must apologize for not bringing this up sooner.

In the past two years we've treated this as an MRCA Mini-Meet, setting 
up a modest bivouac / display area adjacent to the Swapmeet site.

The location is InfoAge <https://infoage.org/>, located at the former 
U.S. Army's Evans Signal Laboratory.  This facility was originally 
constructed in 1914 as the receiver site for Marconi's Trans-Atlantic 
wireless-telegraph link.  This was also where Edwin Armstrong 
demonstrated his regenerative receiver to Marconi's David Sarnoff in 
January 1914.  We have a working demo of this.  (Have you ever heard 
spark on a regen?)

If you hang around on Saturday, until the 1 PM museum opening time, 
there's a lot so see including about 10,000 square feet of military 
vehicles.

Don't expect a lot of military radio gear for sale,_*unless*_ a bunch of 
MRCA folk decide to show up as vendors.

If there's sufficient interest we can camp out / cook out at InfoAge on 
Friday night, and take a good look at the Radio technology Museum.

What do you think?

Al
