Everyone is encouraged to support this, and future NARC events, by registering! Registration is required to sell items in the parking lot, and for admittance to the Hospitality Room, the Pavek Museum, and for all indoor events except the auction. Registration is not actually required to buy or sell at the auction, or to buy at the outdoor swap meet, but we do encourage everyone to register since your support is needed to continue holding these events in the future. All who register will be put on the NARC mailing list and may receive emails if we learn of other area auctions, sales, etc., that would be of interest to radio collectors. You can pre-register (and save $3.00) by returning the enclosed registration form before May 14th to: NARC, PO Box 18362, Minneapolis, MN 55418. After you arrive, pick up your name badge and other materials in the Registration Room. Visit the Hospitality Room next to the Registration room for coffee, pop, and snacks! The meet kicks off with a large antique radio auction in the hotel main ballroom at 6:30 p.m. Friday! You do not need to be registered for Radio Daze to buy or sell at this auction. Consign any radio items you want to sell by bringing them to the auction between 3 - 6 p.m.
A light lunch will be available in the hospitality room on Saturday from 11 AM to 1 PM. Some other choices are the Axel’s Bonfire restaurant within the hotel and other restaurants nearby, including Perkins, Jake’s Sports Bar, and several fast food establishments |
Howard Stone, internationally known radio historian and long-time NARC member, will present 'Wireless Communication until 1919: Why I Love Those Pre-broadcast Radios'. After growing up in south Minneapolis, he went on to become Professor of Pastoral Theology and Pastoral Counseling at Brite Divinity School, Texas Christian University. He has published over a dozen books related to pastoral care giving and is now retired. He and his wife Karen spend the summers at their cabin in northern Minnesota. Howard loves fishing and jazz, and is an audiophile and avid collector of antique radios. He will show pictures of a number of early wireless radios from his virtual museum, StoneVintageRadio.com, and discuss how they advanced radio communication. This should be a very enjoyable program! |
