Thanks, very interesting. Looks like the Ocean Gate site is probably the last
one with chance to be preserved. Rhombics farm is on the marshes, dept. of
wildlife and fisheries took over that, but antennas are still there. We are
trying to turn it into historical landmark and get the museum going at the
building. Hopefully also home for Tesla RC and do some operating from there.
Still a chance.


Anything on the web about Ocean Gate, Yuri?
