This just in.  Rebecca Mercuri is a computer scientist by degree with semipro interests in
electronic music synthesizers and amateur radio.  Maybe a possible talk for the NJARC as well?

                       MAY 2008 MEETING

             WEIRD ANTENNA PROJECTS OF NEW JERSEY
                    Rebecca Mercuri KA3IAX

* Tuesday, May 20, 2008, 7:30 PM
* Sarnoff Corporation, 201 Washington Rd, Princeton, NJ

Most of us are already familiar with "Weird NJ", but how many are
familiar with "Weird Antenna Projects of New Jersey"?  This month
Rebecca KA3IAX will entertain us with a fascinating talk that explores 
New Jersey's contribution to transmission history from telegraphy to 
Telstar! Projects by Morse, Marconi, Tesla, Armstrong, Sarnoff and many 
more will be featured, along with some classic cold war era newsreel clips.

All are invited to join in an informal pre-meeting dinner at the Market
Fair Food Court on US 1 South at 6:30 PM.  We gather at the tables
closest to the movie theaters.
