Benefits to Social Distancing<\/h1>\n

I have discovered that there is a positive side effect of social distancing.\u00a0 With so many organizations using Zoom and other video methods for their meeting, the volume of great videos to watch has drastically increased, with most of it residing on YouTube.\u00a0 Also everyone is sharing video links that they have found with other.<\/p>\n

For example, the New Jersey Antique Radio Club (NJARC)<\/a> has, for some time, posted their monthly meetings on their YouTube channel.\u00a0 They have very enjoyable presentations.\u00a0 Last night was their virtual monthly meeting for June and they had a great talk by Prof. Joe Jesson on “What You Did Not Know About the RCA AR88.”<\/p>\n

I am a fairly new member to NJARC and must recommend them to others.\u00a0 They are a very active group and are currently having Zoom conferences weekly between the members.\u00a0 They also host the RADIO TECHNOLOGY MUSEUM at the InfoAge Technology Center.<\/p>\n

Last week, I received an email from Mark\u00a0 Erdle (AE2EA) referring to some videos by the Antique Wireless Museum which is hosted by the Antique Wireless Association (AWA).\u00a0 From his email:<\/p>\n

The Radios (and Filming) of “Across the Pacific<\/b>”\u00a0 presented by AWA member Brian Harrison.\u00a0 Brian served as the radio consultant for the 3-hour PBS documentary \u201cAcross the Pacific\u201d, which tells the story of the early days of Pan American Airways and of Hugo C. Leuteritz, a RCA radio engineer who helped make Pan Am\u2019s expansion across the oceans possible with radio communication and navigation systems. Brian explains how he worked to insure that this documentary portrayed the pioneering work of Hugo Leuteritz as accurately as possible. Much of the early radio equipment that Pan American used was custom made for Pan Am, and is quite rare today, but Brian hunted it down<\/a>.<\/p>\n
