Our Next Meeting

Chapter 37's Annual Picnic!

WMAL Radio

Guest Speaker: You!

It's time for our annual picnic again and we will be meeting at our traditional location, the WMAL Transmitter Site. The SBE Chapter 37 picnic is an opportunity for you to meet with broadcast engineering friends, spouses and families. We plan to get together, tell "war stories," play a little Frisbee and volleyball, and dine on delicious food. Members of SBE Chapter 46, Chapter 132 and SMPTE are also cordially invited. PLEASE RSVP to Laura Mir

We will be ready to serve food and drinks (of the non-alcoholic variety, of course) about 12:45 pm. Many thanks also to Dave Sproul and WMAL for helping to make arrangements and for hosting the picnic at the transmitter site again this year!

This year we welcome Broadcasters General Store’s, Buck Waters, as a new picnic sponsor, joining David Eltzroth of ROX Electronics and Jim Peck of SCMS. Additional sponsorships and door prizes to be announced. Please check back here for the latest announcements and news!

Meeting Time:

September 18, 2010 at 12:30 PM

Location:

WMAL Transmitter Site
7115 Greentree Rd
Bethesda, MD 20817

Directions:

  • From Interstate 495 (Capital Beltway), take Exit 39 and carefully follow the signs for River Road (Maryland Route 190) East toward Washington.
  • Continue East on River Road to the traffic light at Burdette Rd.
  • Turn left on Burdette Rd. and continue straight through the traffic light at Bradley Blvd.
  • Continue on Burdette until its end at the intersection for Greentree Rd. (watch for the Woods Acadamy School near the intersection).
  • Turn left on Greentree Rd., take it down a hill and bear right at the "Y" in the road. Oddly, you'll need to bear right in order to stay on Greentree Rd.
  • Shortly after the "Y, " you'll pass over I-495. The driveway to the WMAL transmitter is about 500 yards after the bridge - on the right side of the road.
