Are you interested in becoming a volunteer for the foundation?

read on for further information and details on who to contact.

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.

In 1973, Harry Matthews of the Dept of Electrical Engineering, Edinburgh University, rescued from an Edinburgh dustbin an old Ekco wireless set, which over thirty years previously he had helped to design . . .
