[NJARC] Museum Status

[Vourtsis, Philip (Phil), ALABS]

Al,
  I am planning on providing radios from the 30s, 40s
to fill in the holes in the living room exhibit. The
signage, particularly broadcasting signage, is where
we are short. On the internet there are plenty of nice
small pictures about broadcasting but when you try to 
blow them up they look pretty bad.

Fred, 
  Have you had any luck with the file containing the
NBHF inductees I sent you?

All,
  Looks like some of us will be meeting at the cottage 
this Sunday. 

Marsha, 
   Can we help you with the drapes on Sunday?

NJARC,

The NJARC/NBHF Radio Museum continues to take shape in 
Cottage 2 on Marconi Road.

For the moment, the dining room contains material from the 
birth of wireless through the 1920's, while the living room 
is dedicated to Golden Age (30's and 40's) artifacts.

I feel we've made a good start in the dining room.  There's 
a pre-WWI amateur station,  the beginnings of a tube display 
anchored by a Deforest Audion (probably a replica), a 
hands-on crystal set demo, and a working AK20 three-dialer 
with horn speaker and documentation.

There's material in the living room, including a 
good-playing 1936 GE tombstone (on loan from N3FRQ), 
However thing need a lot of organization and signage.

If you see fit to add any none-Broadcaster's-Hall-of-Fame 
materials PLEASE PUT YOUR NAME ON THEM.

Peggy Reynolds and I spent most of Sunday down there 
installing an outdoor active antenna connected to a 
multi-set coupler.  A local signal from a CD player, is also 
fed into this "cable-radio" system on 1330KHz. This can 
accommodate 32 radios via individual CATV-style cables.

There's also a ham-modified Signal Corps BC-348 that should 
be tough enough to let people play with it.  We can 
highlight short-wave listening, and also run Rob Flory's 
non-directional-beacon morse-code-introduction exercise.

There's still a LOT of work to be do, so grab a corner and 
help out.

Regards,
Al
