Amateur Radio Exhibit at the Kelowna Okanagan Heritage Museum

Check out the You Tube video for the new Amateur Radio Exhibit that opened at the Kelowna Okanagan Heritage Museum recently:

This exhibit called CQ: Is There Anybody Out There will run until July 3rd 2010 and it examines the evolution of amateur radio communication in the Valley (from the origins of broadcast radio to the role that amateur radio operators play today.) Everything from old microphones, radio tubes to a hands-on Morse code activity at the exhibition is worth seeing and exploring not only by radio professionals but also by general public.
