Amateur 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.
Interested in becoming a Radio Amateur?
...the meaning of “Amateur” is, you don’t get paid for your radio communication skills; that you’re using 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. First, you will need a place to start. It’s not with us, but with our Affiliated, National, Organization, with American Radio Relay League; the “ARRL”. They represent the Amateur Radio Service before governmental bodies, on behalf of its membership, since 1914.

TRAINING COURSES
At this time, the VRCMCT ARC does not offer in-person training and study courses for Amateur Radio License exams. However, we are now aligned with the Westchester Emergency Communications Association (WECA), with VE team leader, Larrie Sutliff, W2UL. Larrie conducts ZOOM training sessions for each license class. Our Amateur Radio Club embraces this new technology and we thank Larrie for his dedication to Amateur Radio.
