TRENTON, NJ – April 26, 2010 The May 12th meeting of the Delaware Valley Radio Association will feature a talk on the history of the Lawrenceville AT&T shortwave radio station that was located at what is now part of Mercer County Park Northwest. Developed to facilitate international radio communication, the facility was known to local residents as the “pole farm” due to the numerous wooden antenna supports that appeared to be growing from the ground. Dennis Waters of the Lawrence Historical Society will be making the presentation.

The public is invited to attend. The DVRA meets the second Wednesday of each month at 7:30 PM at Our Lady of Good Counsel Church, 137 West Upper Ferry Road, West Trenton, NJ. The church is located one-quarter mile west of the intersection of routes 634 and 579, and is just south of Mercer County Airport.

With over fifty active members and a fully equipped radio station, the Delaware Valley Radio Association is one of the nation’s oldest radio clubs, having been founded in 1930. Persons interested in learning more about wireless, electronic technology, or Amateur Radio are encouraged to visit the club’s website at www.w2zq.com or attend any regular meeting of the club.
