Phone Carriers Waive Fees in Hurricane Sandy Aftermath

Beginning Oct. 29, New Jersey Verizon Wireless customers will not be charged for voice or text usage until Nov. 17

Those affected by Hurricane Sandy may have one less burden to worry about thanks to Verizon Wireless. Verizon customers throughout New Jersey will not be billed usage charges for domestic voice and text usage incurred between Oct. 29 and Nov. 16, according to a company press release. No action is required by customers to be eligible for this program, as voice and text activity charges incurred during those dates will be automatically removed from customers’ accounts. Customers will still be responsible for monthly access charges, however. Customers should also note they may still receive normal usage alerts during their bill cycle for voice and/or text usage.  Verizon will also suspend late fees and will not disconnect services due to late…

See The Horn Antenna of Holmdel Rotate

Radio Test Engineer Peter Guerlain explains how the Horn Antenna in Holmdel works, and how it was used to confirm the existence of cosmic energy left over from the "Big Bang." On July 10, Steve Wolkovitz captured the rare sight of its movement.

The first communications between the radio satellite Telstar 1 consisted of a 65-foot dish antenna in Andover, Maine and the historic Horn Antenna on Crawford Hill in Holmdel. Last Thursday, scientists celebrated the 50th anniversary of Telstar next to the Horn Antenna.   As is so often the case scientific discoveries often occur "by accident", or, to put it more accurately, as a by-product of an endeavor to do something else.  And, as with most any scientific measurement or experiment, once one has set up the equipment, one starts out by checking, or calibrating the equipment to make sure that it is working correctly so that one can rely on the results produced by that equipment. For example, if the equipment is a thermometer, one might …

Arno Penzias received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1979 for this discovery, along with Robert Wilson; Stephen Hawking said the Nobel should have gone to Wilkinson at Princeton for his efforts in finding the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation. He was wrong about the Higgs Boson and he was wrong about that too: Penzias didn't just stumble across this, he'd lectured on the CMBR at Princeton in …   more ›
