Two of the major attractions are a Zenith Stratosphere console and the
Delano, CA Voice of America transmitter. The transmitter was acquired
in 2014. This was the last operating VOA transmitter, shut down in 2007.
There is a "Links" folder included with the pictures, that includes 2
links relating to the transmitter. I also included a link to pictures
that I took in 2014 of the arrival of the transmitter.
Also, in the Banquet link you'll notice a fourth person sitting with
Dave, Jon and me. His name is Abdulkhaleq Alqadhi, or Abd as he likes
to be called, from Kurdistan. It was his first time attending the
conference. He has a small collection of table radios, common in his
area, but really rare here. He was also impressed by the NJARC website,
and really wanted to visit, but didn't have enough time. He and I have
been corresponding, and I'm going to try and help him obtain parts,
difficult in his country.

/It was great meeting someone from another culture with the same
interest(s). Hopefully he'll be able to visit the U.S. again someday
and visit New Jersey and OUR museum.
