I thought maybe some people may be interested in this. I looked on the antique radio clubs site and didn’t even see any mention of this. Mike

All Society members and their guests are invited to our Annual Meeting and Program on Saturday March 12, 2022 at 1:00pm. The event will take place at the Edison First Aid Squad (RVREMS) at 828 New Dover Road in Edison (see photo and map below). Following a brief business meeting, we will enjoy an extremely interesting program about radio history in our area. The New Jersey Antique Radio Club and the Radio Technology Museum at the InfoAge Campus will present a program titled "100 Years of Radio Broadcasting; The New York and New Jersey Influence." This multi-media presentation tracing the birth of radio by Marconi and follows its progression to public broadcasting in the 1920s the 1930s and then becomes a major factor during WWII. In the 1940s and 50s, our primary home entertainment media moved from radio to television, but radio today still encompasses nearly all aspects of our life. Much of this progress occurred in New Jersey and the New York metropolitan area. This aspect will be highlighted in our presentation. This program is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be available after the program, and the first 20 members to arrive at the Annual Meeting will receive a free goody bag bursting with local history fun, AND there will be a special free door prize awarded to one lucky attendee.
