The big horn antenna in Holmdel, NJ is in danger of being lost to re-development, despite the site being designated a National Historic Landmark: “Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1988, the Horn Antenna sits on 42 beautiful acres in Holmdel Township on Crawford Hill, the highest point in Monmouth County. The Horn Antenna was instrumental in the discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation by scientists Dr. Robert Wilson and Dr. Arno Penzias, which helped confirm the “Big Bang” theory of cosmology. Both men earned Nobel Prizes for their discoveries.” Persons wishing to see the site preserved can learn more & sign a petition here: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/save-big-bang-antenna https://patch.com/new-jersey/holmdel-hazlet/historic-bell-labs-horn-antenna-... 73, AA2PM, Paul Mondok Before printing this document, please think about the environment.
