​​Helping Our Youths Develop Communication Skills For The Future​

This website is dedicated to the radio operations of the W7MHM radio club that works in association with the Military Heritage Museum located in downtown Punta Gorda, Florida.

​​The Military Heritage Museum contributes to the ongoing education of  students of all ages by providing onsite history and STEM learning experiences through a wide range of learning methods as well as online learning opportunities.
​The radio club provides live radio demonstrations at the Museum and offers our youths the opportunity to speak on ham radio at least once a week. The radio club works closely with the Museum management to provide a unique experience for the children and all visitors who come through the museum. Read More

                    Military Heritage Museum Summer History Camp Support
 
For the past couple of years, we have provided support to the Military Heritage Museum for their Summer History Camps.  The camps are attended by youth ages 10-15.  This provides a great opportunity for us to interact with the youth and provide them an opportunity to learn about and experience amateur radio.

The camps are now over for 2025.  We hosted 63 campers as well as the interns during the four weeks of camp.  Besides learning about amateur radio and having the opportunity to talk on the radio to an amateur radio operator, the campers learned about basic electricity and electromagnetism and performed some experiments in those subjects.  They also learned about the history of Morse code and had the chance to send and receive in Morse code.  All in all, it was a fun learning experience for those who attended.
 
I want to thank all those who took time out of their day to make this effort a success and look forward to next year’s summer camps.

Many of us are aware of various “On-The-Air” programs such as Parks On The Air (POTA), Islands On The Air (IOTA), but how many of you have heard of NASA On The Air?  For the past several years, NASA has been celebrating milestones of NASA and the space exploration program with On-The-Air events.  The events and corresponding weekends for the remainder of 2025 are as follows:
 
                                                         Historic Date Events - 2025 NOTA Dates

Amateur Radio Clubs at twelve NASA field centers participate in this event, operating with various different modes and on various bands.  Besides receiving some neat QSL cards, you can get points for contacting the stations which will lead to certificates later on.
