Many thanks to SWLing Post contributors Alan and Conrad for sharing the news that the annual Armstrong Radio Broadcast event will return to Alpine, New Jersey, on Thursday, June 19, 2025, beginning at 12 p.m. ET. The commemorative broadcast will air on 42.8 MHz, the original low-band FM frequency used by Edwin Howard Armstrong. This special transmission, using vintage equipment, will cover much of the New York City Tri-State area. ?
In addition to the broadcast, there will be a public event on-site at the historic Armstrong Tower in Alpine—an opportunity to gather with fellow radio enthusiasts at a truly iconic location in broadcasting history.
