What a wonderful experience!! I’ve always loved radio and it’s technology since I was a young kid. Almost 60 years I still love magic of RF.

I'm a ham but I brought my not so technically inclined mom and grandmother here, and they LOVED it. You don't need to be an engineer or ham to enjoy this museum, and you will learn a ton about the foundations of...
