OUR APRIL MEETING WAS HELD ONLINE
As dedicated
radio restorers, we have shown that we can successfully endure hot
soldering irons, electrical shocks, exploding capacitors, straining our
backs lifting 'boatanchors,' inhaling paint stripper fumes and the
Hantavirus, but the Corona Virus has temporarily managed to put a halt
to our get-togethers. Our April
Meeting was a virtual one, held online on Zoom. If you missed the
meeting, it's now available on YouTube
as are many of our previous meetings.
Radio Quote
of the Month: “Radio is a
wonderful invention that allows people who have nothing to say to tell
that t people who will not listen to them." — unknown
((Sounds a lot
like the Internet! -- ed.)
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.
