[NJARC] That Robert Wilson

[Alex Magoun]

If this was April 1, I'd state that his irritation with the static in his
Atwater Kent reception in 1963 led to his and Arno Penzias's study of
background microwave radiation in 1964 so we could say that a tube radio
restoration project resulted in a Nobel Prize.

But it's not.

Cheers, Alex
