Quote of the
month: "Any
sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from mogic" -- Arthur C. Clarke
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.
At our July
meeting, we'll have another "Tech Talk" presentation by Technical
Coordinator Al Klase.
As Al describes it: "A lot of us have acquired some really nice radios
from the 1930's and then hang three feet of wire down the back of the
table for an antenna. In this presentation, we'll take a look at
antenna systems in general with an eye to modern solutions such as
active antennas that better fit a 21st Century life style. Both
commercial and homebrew setups will be considered."
