I’ve written many times about our efforts to set up an amateur radio station at the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum. Well, recently on the HamRadioHelpGroup mailing list, Jeremy, N2BUF, noted, “I am trying to compile a list of other Science Centers that have Amateur Radio clubs or Amateur Radio displays for kids.”

Below is a list of clubs that others mentioned and some that I know about:

• New York Hall of Science, Flushing, NY
  Club: Hall of Science Amateur Radio Club
  Callsign: WB2JSM
• Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum, Ann Arbor, MI
  Club: ARROW
  Callsign: WA2HOM
• Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, Portland, Oregon
  Club: Blueback Submarine Radio Club, info on QRZ.Com
  Callsign: W7SUB
  This station is located inside the sub, which is on display at the museum.
• Museum of Science and Technology, Flushing, NY
  Club: Hall of Science Amateur Radio Club
  Callsign: WB2JSM
• Arizona Science Center, Phoenix, AZ
  Club: Center for Amateur Radio Learning
  Callsign: W7ASC
• Ontario Science Center, Toronto, ON
  Club: Ontario Science Center Amateur Radio Club, info on QRZ.Com
  Callsign: VE3OSC
• Canada Science and Technology Museum, Ottawa, ON
  Club: Amateur Radio Exhibit Group

Apparently, there will be one in India, too. The Hindu, a paper in Kerala, ran the story, “Ham radio station at science museum” recently. This is all very cool stuff.
