[Spooks] Kinda OT - Spy Museum

[spooks@mailman.qth.net]

while you are there go to the historical electronics musuem on nursery road off of I-295 in lithicum right next to the ramada, its about 15 minutes from the NSA museum. they have lots of neat stuff to include an enigma machine, a working HAM radio station, satellites, cutaway of AWACS antenna, early electronic warfare devices (eg APR-1), experimental devices, supercomputers, SCR-270 radar, fighter radars, weapon systems, history of TWT's and IC chips, lots of hands on electric experiments for kids.

I go whenever in the area and always see something new, its a great place to spend a few hours if your flying out of BWI or in DC. I took my scouts there and they loved it. Has more stuff that appeals to kids like vehicles, torpedos, ship models, etc
