The Radio Central What's New Page
Our August meeting topic will be satellite communications. The presentation will not be from the point of view of an expert but from a few hams who had to learn enough about satellite radio communications to get on the air on Field Day (the toughest time of the year to make a QSO on the satellites) and make contacts. We will be setting up the equipment that was used at our Field Day operation at the Long Island Maritime Museum as well as some simpler homebrew antennas. With some luck and cooperation from the weather, we hope to make contacts on several satellites on FM as well as CW and SSB.
Sunday September 28 Trip to the Info-Age Science Center in Belmar, NJ
This message is from Connie Currie, President of the Long Island Wireless Historical Society. Members of Radio Central are invited to join LIWHS in a trip to the Info-Age Science Center on Sunday September 28. This looks like it will be a great Autumn activity.
We have a great opportunity to visit the INFO-AGE Science Center at the Old Marconi Hotel in Belmar, NJ. The exhibits include N.J. Antique Radio Museum, Vintage Computer Museum, Model R.R. Layout, Project Diana, Moon Bounce Site and much more. All this, including lunch for $37.00 a person. Bus will pick up at 8:15am at the Lighthouse Shopping Center, Oakdale at 27A, W/O Locust Ave., and at the Sears Shopping Center, RT 106/107, Hicksville at 9:15am. We must know, with checks ASAP or we will have to cancel the event. Several groups are being approached, so let us know. Checks go to LIWHS at 43 Sayville Blvd., Sayville 11782 - Checks will be returned if the trip fails.
