Virtual Zoom Meeting: Remembering Radio Row
In accordance with the continuing Social Distancing guidelines that we have to observe to keep the Covid-19 threat in retreat, our July meeting will be held on line using ZOOM.
Our July meeting topic will Remembering Radio Row, a photo compilation by Frank, KC2ZOR.
In the early days of radio, a number of "Radio Rows" sprouted throughout the US, the best-known being a five-block section of Cortland Street in New York City. Radio Row opened in 1921 as a Mecca of radio and electronics dealers. It was here that now-familiar companies such as Arrow Electronics, Avnet, and Schweber and others made their start. Radio Row lasted until 1966, when it was demolished, much to the chagrin of local electronics merchants, to make room for the World Trade Center.
Our 2020 General Meetings will be at the Middle Country Public Library in Centereach. You
can get directions to the Middle Country Public Library
