Amateur Radio License Preparation Courses and Testing
The Vintage Radio and Communications Museum of CT conducts regularly scheduled Amateur Radio Exam Sessions. Our Amateur Radio Club has a team of volunteers who conduct and administer exam sessions for the Technician, General and Extra Class license. Exam sessions coincide with our museum Swap Meets. See the “Events Calendar” for dates and time.

The meaning of “Amateur”: you don’t get paid for your radio communication skills, just as Amateur Athletes do not get paid for their skills. The purpose is to use Amateur Radio as two-way radio for fun, science exploration, social education and international good will. Radio has no boundaries. The knowledge gained and the people met through Amateur Radio often opens new avenues of life.

You are never too young, or too old to become a Radio Amateur, but first, you will need a place to start. It’s not with us, but with the National Organization for Amateur Radio; the American Radio Relay League. The “ARRL” represents the Amateur Radio Service before US and International governing commissions: https://www.arrl.org/getting-licensed

At this time, the VRCMCT ARC does not offer in-person training and study courses for Amateur Radio License exams. However, we are now partnered with the Westchester Emergency Communications Association (WECA). There VE Team Leader, Larrie Sutliff, W2UL, conducts ZOOM training sessions for each license class. Our Amateur Radio Club thanks Larrie and WECA for their dedication to Amateur Radio.
