Radio Quote
of the Month: “Roy, come
and get this goddamn cat” — first
in-flight radio transmission (source)
On Saturday, June 2, NJARC members attended a memorial service for
Charles Blanding along with many of his friends and family.
A highlight of this 'celebration of his life' was a heartfelt (and
funny!) tribute by his friend Allan
Sniffen (of "Rewound
Radio" fame)
recounting Charles' lifelong fascination with radio and some of his
adventures - and misadventures - as a kid.

Meeting
location:
Online only!
Join us via Zoom! 7:30 PM You'll receive a link to the online meeting via an
email from THE NJARC Communicator prior to the start of the meeting.
New user of Zoom? Please join us at 7:00 PM for a pre-meeting 'dress
rehearsal' to ensure that you'll be successful in atending the actual
meeting.
At this 'pre-meeting meeting' you'll have the opportunity to access our
Zoom meeting room and to iron out any bugs before the start of the
regular monthly meeting at 7:30.
Once the meeting starts at 7:30 it will be more difficult to
troubleshoot any problems you may encounter. So if you're new to this
(and most of us are!) please join us at 7:00 to help iron out any
kinks on this first attempt!
There will be a separate link for the 7:00 PM test meeting and the
actual meeting at 7:30 so be careful not to use the test meeting link
to access the actual meeting at 7:30.

and we are pretty sure you'll enjoy attending. See you there!
(Literally, we'll 'see you' there.)
At our
April meeting, club member Prof. Michael Littman of Princeton
University will present the program he had intended to offer at our
March meeting, which had to be cancelled.
Dr. Littman will offer a presentation titled "44 Years Before Hertz:
Experimental Demonstration of Electromagnetic Waves by Prof. Joseph
Henry."
Joseph Henry was the leading American scientist
after Benjamin Franklin and was a professor at Princeton from 1832 to
1846. There are a number of pieces of Henry's experimental apparatus in Princeton's
collection of historic artifacts.
