[TMRA] Special Event Station W3T (Nikola Tesla test lab) - Shoreham, NY

[Joe Thielen]

Wardenclyffe, Nikola Tesla’s last laboratory will be on the air
November 5th as special event station W3T!  Wardenclyffe is located in
Shoreham, NY on Long Island.  W3T is part of a network of special
event stations that are helping to raise awareness for the effort to
purchase the laboratory and restore it into a science museum.  To read
more about the effort to restore Wardencyffe, please check out
http://www.teslasciencecenter.org.  The other stations in the network
are N3Y which will transmit via satellite and possibly HF from the New
Yorker Hotel, Tesla’s last home in Manhattan, and YU0TESLA which will
transmit on 20m as well as other HF bands from the Tesla Museum in
Belgrade.  For the latest updates on what frequencies to catch the
stations on and a sneak peek at the QSL cards and QTHs, go to

If you’re in the Shoreham area on the 5th, please stop by the station!

Also, be sure to check out the Radio Central Amateur Radio Club.  They
will have the Marconi radio shack on the air a few miles away
transmitting as a special event station commemorating the 90th
anniversary of the opening of the RCA transmitting antenna farm in
Rocky Point, NY.  More details are available at http://www.rcarc.org/.
 Without the RCA club W3T would not be on the air.  Their help has
been invaluable!

And, this just in, we are proud to announce that one more historic
station will be on the air with us on the 5th of November, the Police
Athletic League Amateur Radio Club of Yonkers, NY, a mere few meters
from the site of the first FM transmission 66 years ago on November
5th of 1935 will be on the air with same call sign as the historic
station: W2XAG.
