Please Join us for an LMAG and Section Holiday Dinner being held Tuesday, December 17 at 6 pm at the Wheeler Room on the 3rd Floor of the Phantom Canyon Brewing over looking downtown Colorado Spring. Please bring a guest. The event will include reception at 6 pm with fruit & cheese appetizer and 1 wine/beer/soft drink provided by Phantom Canyon followed by Burger Buffet dinner with hamburger/chicken burger, salad, cole slaw, beans. A vegetarian option will be available. The LMAG and Section will cover a majority of costs but we request a $20 attendance fee for this event.
The meal will be followed by a Presentation "Tesla's Magnifying Transmitter" by David BONDURANT, IEEE Pikes Peak Section Chair. This talk will describe Tesla's life story and specifically focus on 1899, the year that Tesla spent in Colorado Springs building and testing his experimental laboratory located in what is now Memorial Park. This Magnifying Transmitter became the first Full Scale Demonstration of a Very Low Frequency Continuous Wave transmitter for wireless telegraphy and power transmission. The Section is working to make this an IEEE Milestone to add to the existing monument to Tesla currently located at Pikes Peak and Foote Avenue in Memorial Park.
