That sounds excellent, Jeff! Missed one up in the Catskills just recently...this one looks like a lock! Hope to make it there and thanks for the heads-up.

As usual, great artwork, Jeff.

Tnx fellers! My connection is Hamilton KD0FNR, a physics grad student working at Brookhaven, who I met this spring at a comics show in NYC. Here's a link to a PSA video with some pictures of Wardenclyffe mit a bit of sturm und drang. I believe the site is currently owned by Agfa corp, and looks as if it was used in the near past. Some other Brookhaven Lab hams are involved, plus they are getting some assist from a local club planning an RCA Stony Pont event, same day I believe. I'm not at the center of planning, such as it is, but I will be bringing down my mighty Icom 718 and antenna stuff to augment the nice Yaseu loaner they'll have, operating from a trailer. It's all a bit seat-of-the-pants, but for real for sure and I can't wait.

I'd sure like to make a poster available with proceeds to the Tesla Science Center, but best not to go rogue, so I'll check through channels.

We haven't sorted out exactly what bands and modes and what hours, but I'll do CW for sure anyway, so the answer is yes! Will keep ya posted, here and at www.dashtoons.com. Tnx for your interest!

I printed that poster on the color laser at work and put it up on the wall.

Tesla is a big hero of mine... and FWIW, a good friend of Mark Twain.

Tnx for your interest!Keep in mind that November 5th is the start of ARRL Sweepstakes CW. I'd strongly recommend doing CW on the non-WARC bands prior to the start of the contest, phone only on those bands afterwards. And I'll be looking for you!

Tnx W0TKX and yes tnx too W3WN, dawn broke on Marblehead last night re CW SS. Your recommendation makes a lot of sense and we will do, moving to WARC after the contest begins.

Thanks, Jeff. Pretty much what I wanted to know is if there are speakers. There are, and as far as I know now, I'll be there. Mr. Tesla is such a fascinating subject!
