Fellow Topbanders,

This past summer I was in Rhode Island for my son's wedding and had 
time for a visit to the New England Museum of Wireless and Steam in 
East Greenwich. What a treat that was. Bob, W1NTE, gave me a great 
guided tour of the marvelous collection of radio history, including 
the Massie "PJ" station, which was moved from the original Point 
Judith, RI location to the museum site.

One of the displays in the PJ station building has some of the 
original W1BB equipment and related memorabilia. Here are two sites 
you might appreciate, especially if you will be participating in the 
16th Stew Perry Topband Distance Challenge this coming weekend.

A pair of photos I took in the W1BB corner of the PJ station:

Hope to work you in the Stew.
