Wellll, presumably you had an electronic group in mind, but, consider
International Tesla Society, described here by Larry Backstrom:

>MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS: You will receive a Membership Card, the official Society

>grows.  You will also have the opportunity to help organize a local Society
>chapter or join one in your area that is already established.

I believe they have recently started up a BBS, no details on that to hand...

More currently:
(three Weeks and counting...)

    26-29 Jul
    1990
    Colorado Springs, Co
    1990 International Tesla Symposium
    Hilton Inn.

    Symposium registration is $180.00, though its broken down by session.

    Conference proceedings not included.  (They haven't got the '88
    proceedings published yet, sigh....).  Presumably the usual sales
    area, live coil demos (One member builds 10 foot high coils....),
    and presentations on Tesla, his history, technology, and modern
    "on the edge" science...

    Murphy willing, I'll be there.  Anybody else?  Watch the message board...
