Folks,
2013 marks the 101st anniversary of the development of the regenerative
radio circuit by Edwin Howard Armstrong an electrical engineering
student at Colombia University. This invention not only greatly improved
the performance of radio receivers, but would also become the basis for
modern radio transmitters, making voice transmission, and radio as we
know it, a reality.
The New Jersey Antique Radio Club?s Radio Technology Museum will host an
observance of the occasion at the InfoAge Science History Learning
Center and Museum in Wall Township, NJ on July 27th and 28th, 2013 from
1 to 5 PM. There will be a display and demonstration of a wide range of
vintage regenerative radio receivers with a formal presentation at 3 PM.
See: http://www.rtm.ar88.net/Armstrong_Days_at_InfoAge.html for Details.
Our Summer Swap Meet is the morning of the 27th at InfoAge, so you get a
two-fer.
See you there,
Al
