From A Box Of Wires

It's always exciting to learn new things. It opens the door to new possibilities and new ways of seeing the world around us.

From our modern vantage point of nano bits, microcircuitry and high speed internet it's hard to believe that a box full of coiled wires, glass tubes and wood dowels could have made such a dramatic impact on humanity. From the very first broadcasts radio altered forever the way we view politics, music, and each other.

This post should be the last test post for the new Mailchimp subscription program (learning new things).  We'll be posting new NTAAC events for 2015 soon so keep an eye out for the NTAAC email newsletter and don't forget to LIKE NTAAC on Facebook and Linkedin.

Cheers,

New Circuits And Old Tubes

From the first static AM radio broadcasts to the first man to walk on the moon, vacuum tubes got us a long way...

This is the second test for the new, amazingly hi-tech but still 100% volunteer driven  NTAAC Newsletter. If all systems return GO then we'll be ready for lift off.

Cheers,
Brad

Testing The Old Tubes

Perhaps a little up dating would be helpful.

There are some gadgets and gizmos that should be preserved, then there are those computer programs that simply don't work up to modern standards anymore. Such was the case with the NTAAC newsletter program. So this posting is actually a test to see if the new NTAAC MailChimp newsletter is fully functioning.

Just imagine at one time you had to wait for the tubes to heat up before the music came out.

Click and go,
