Find out more about our permanent home in Burntisland, Fife. Though the Foundation has in the past mounted and manned temporary displays and exhibitions throughout central Scotland, everything is now focused on Burntisland. Also the majority of our external stores have been closed down and all artefacts are now located at Burntisland.

The Museum operates an Amateur Radio Station, callsign MM0MOC, using artefacts from the collection. Equipment used includes a Yaesu FT-840, an MFJ-9020 QRP CW rig and a Kenwood/Trio TR-2300 2 meter rig feeding a 2M/70cms vertical collinear.

In the collection there are various other rigs which it is hoped to use eventually. These include a Yaesu FT-102, Hammarlund HX-50, a KW Vanguard and a Panda Cub.

The foundation's mission and vision for the future. As communications technology continues to drive society forward, the museum collection will continue to grow alongside this expansion in development.

Find out about our Founder, Harry Matthews, and details on his development of the collection from the early years (early 1970s onwards).

Our house magazine is called Transmitting and is published 3 times a year. The magazine has a finely honed mixture of articles about people, selected artefacts, progress at 131, book reviews, news items and appeals for assistance. It is distributed free to paid-up members.
