Located on Level 3 in My Digital World
W7ASC Center for Amateur Radio Learning
For more than 20 years, the Center for Amateur Radio Learning (C.A.R.L.),a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit organization dedicated to promoting Amateur Radio to the public, has called the Harkins Ham Shack home. Located on Level 3 in My Digital World, allows Arizona Science Center Guests to explore past and present radio technologies, as well as participate in an international community with other amateur radio stations and operators around the world simply using the radio airwaves–no internet!
With two independent operating positions, Volunteers demonstrate HF and VHF/UHF bands using SSB, CW, FM, TTY, digital modes, plus ATV and SAT modes to Guests of all ages arriving as school groups on field trips, families, etc.
Young students learn to send their name in Morse Code and then enjoy a brief QSO on a local repeater, EchoLink, or other modes, leaving with a Guest Operator Certificate and literature on becoming an amateur radio operator.
