Title: Neat Video: ARRL Evolution of Amateur Radio Exhibit Post by: Pete, WA2CWA on April 04, 2015, 10:05:10 PM They say it's a new exhibit; don't recall ever seeing it before.
"Visitors to the ARRL Laboratory can now visit our new exhibit, "The ARRL Evolution of Amateur Radio Exhibit", featuring radio apparatus from the early 1900's to the 1980's, contained in it's own long, narrow display room; formally a storage room for obsolete test equipment and parts..." Complete story is here: http://www.arrl.org/arrl-vintage-amateur-radio-equipment-exhibit along with the video. If you're impatient, here is the video: http://www.arrl.org/flash/mediaplayer.swf?file=%2Ffiles%2Ffile%2FTechnology%2FLab%2520Museum.flv (http://www.arrl.org/img/162x134/exact/Technology/03.jpg) Title: Re: Neat Video: ARRL Evolution of Amateur Radio Exhibit Post by: Steve - K4HX on April 05, 2015, 05:43:58 PM Good to see these displays. Todd-KA1KAQ, John-W3JN and me had a very nice conversation with Ed Hare - W1RFI at the Raleigh Amateur Radio Society hamfest on Friday. He mentioned that the Joe Walsh station was set up at the lab and invited AMers to stop by and operate it.

I was hoping to stop at ARRL the Thursday or Friday before the Centennial Convention to see some the displays but had to do a last minute business trip to Delaware and Virginia. Was at the Convention on Saturday but it was too busy to make it over to the ARRL. Last time I visited was 1978 when some of the current "old stuff" was still relatively new. |
