(OHIO PENN DX) ** KICKER: ON LONG ISLAND, A TOWER OF POWER PAUL/ANCHOR: For our final story, we take you to Long Island, New York, where inventor Nikola Tesla conducted many of his groundbreaking experiments. Tesla's former laboratory is the perfect inspirational spot for a ham radio club to celebrate an important anniversary. Jim Damron, N8TMW, tells us what happens next. JIM: Marking its 75th anniversary on Long Island, the Suffolk County Radio Club, W2DQ, appreciates what it means to be part of radio history. So it's celebrating the occasion at a nearby historic spot - Wardenclyffe, the former laboratory of electronics innovator Nikola Tesla, now renamed the Tesla Science Center. Though the noted engineer and inventor died in 1943 - four years before the radio club was founded in Suffolk County, his spirit will be present on October 8th when the club activates special event station N2T from the historic tower between 1500 UTC and 2359 UTC. Ed Wilson, N2XDD, vice president of the Suffolk County Radio Club, told Newsline in a phone call that Wardenclyffe was the perfect place for the special event station because of the history behind the site and Tesla's contributions to radio. Hams contacting the operators during the event will be able to receive a downloadable certificate. Meanwhile, even with Tesla himself long gone, his old laboratory is still functioning as an incubator for new things in the radio universe. The Tesla Science Center Amateur Radio Club, N2TSC, was formed this past July by a handful of hams. Ed, who is also its president, told Newsline that members have the immediate goal of focusing on education in the schools - a priority that is sure to have an impact that lasts beyond the next 75 years. This is Jim Damron, N8TMW.
