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

[Ray Fantini]

If I wanted to drag the mutt up there Friday night and set up for Saturday what would it cost? Don't want to have to shell out $30 after having been beat down for however much all the tolls will be on the turnpike for a truck and trailer. May just want to do a Southern Detachment from over here and try to do several bands as opposed to just 60 meters. Would be a lot cheaper!
Its somewhat short notice but may see if I can get permission to operate from Cape Henlopen in Delaware and try a direct shot up the coast?

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?
