Our Burntisland Home

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, and much of the Collection was stored in seven different locations, everything is now being focused on Burntisland.

Our Magazine, Transmitting

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.

The MoC Amateur Radio Society

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.
