[NJARC] Ham Radio on History Detectives + Theremin next week

[John Dilks, K2TQN]

This week on History Detectives

A HAM radio operator who now lives in Beverly Hills, Florida made 
contact with another radio hobbyist in Baltimore, Maryland. The 
second man said he was a NASA engineer and pioneered some early space 
projects. Before signing off, he promised to send a memento of their 
conversation.

Next History Detectives June 28

A man from Santa Fe, New Mexico bought a theremin off e-Bay.  If 
you've never seen a theremin, you've undoubtedly heard one. One of 
the first electronic instruments, and the only instrument played 
without touching, the theremin makes eerie, ethereal music, the kind 
that creates uncertainty and suspense in movie sound tracks. Robert 
Moog, creator of the electric synthesizer, called the theremin "a 
vital cornerstone of our contemporary music technology."
