NJARC History

History

The New Jersey Antique Radio Club was formed in the fall of 1992. After placing advertisements in Antique Radio Classified and in local newspapers, Tony Flanagan convened a meeting of 15 charter members who formed the organization and elected Tony as NJARC's first president.

Tony ran the club for four years. He passed away in 1998. Here is a page dedicated to Tony.

Our 10th Anniversary video includes an introduction describing the beginnings of the club and showcases some of the more interesting presentations from our member "Show & Tell" meetings.

In 2007, the club celebrated its 15th birthday. Our 15th Anniversary video debuted at the 2007 holiday party and features highlights of the "Show & Tell" meetings from years 10 through 15.
