On Monday, March 14, 2011 several QSY members journeyed to Newington, CT.  Our Section Manager, Pete N2YJZ accompanied us.  We got the royal tour of the HQ facilities, had a great Italian lunch in Newington, and then return to visit the Hiram Percy Maxim Memorial Station W1AW in the afternoon.  Three of us elected to operate. 

It was a challenge to take decent pictures or video because the space is limited, there is quite a bit of glare from glass, and the tour keeps moving.  However, there are a few still shots and some unedited movie footage of actual W1AW operation.
