NJARC'ers,

There is a new Radio Museum coming to New Jersey. It's coming to the 
building that NJARC could have had (and probably owned) a couple of years 
ago.  It's the former overseas AT&T transmitter site "WOO" in Oceangate.

The building is massive and has a huge antenna field associated with 
it.  In this building we could have had our regular meetings in one 
section, and used other portions for a major museum, with work shops and 
parts storage, and libraries, all at the same time.  Plus, the view from 
the third floor office is breathtaking, sunrise and sunsets especially.

If you are interested in joining the group that is running it, I'm sure 
they would like members, as it is just getting off the ground.

Check out the photos on this web page, it will blow you mind.

..... Chalk this up as another one to: if you snooze your loose.
