Description | Museum's web page 2013: Despite the fact that radio amateurism is over 100 years old, this hobby is still very much alive. About 15,000 people in The Netherlands have a radio ham licence. Both technology and legal aspects of the hobby have changed and evolved significantly over the years. The many aspects of this fascinating hobby are highlighted in this museum, which now even has a DIY corner for the youngest soon-to-be amateurs. Converting surplus radio equipmentOver the past few years, a huge amount of surplus radio equipment has been donated to the Museum by KPN Telecom (the major Dutch Telco operator). The equipment may be sold to radio amateurs, in order to gain income for the Museum. Transceivers and other transmitting devices may only be sold to licenced radio amateurs. Most of the equipment is in good physical condition and has been operational until phased out. The Museum beleives that this system of selling surplus equipment serves many purposes: it grants the radios a 2nd life, it generates income for the museum, it stimulates the radio hobby and, what's more: it stimulates the DIY part of our hobby. DIY kitsThe museum has a couple of DIY kits on offer. We sincerely hope that offering these DIY kits will stimulate the radio amateur hobby, whilst at the same time provide a modest income for the museum. Below an overview of the DIY kits currently available from the museum. If you can't find what you are looking for, please try again at a later date as we will be adding new DIY kits to the list frequently. Mail from Museum in October 2020: We look for musea or people who are interested in the objects. |

Het museum is vernoemd naar Jan Corver, de grondlegger van het zendvergunningstelsel. 2020 - Belangrijke mededeling In de afgelopen 25 jaar hebben we met veel plezier gewerkt aan het opzetten en in stand houden van een prachtige collectie apparatuur en andere objecten, die laat zien hoe het zendamateurisme in Nederland zich in de loop der jaren heeft ontwikkeld. In verband met de respectabele leeftijd van de oprichter, Cor Moerman, is de afgelopen jaren geprobeerd om een opvolger voor het museum te vinden. Helaas is dat tot dusver niet gelukt. Omdat de kosten voor onze opslagruimte ondertussen gewoon door lopen, heeft het bestuur van het museum de volgende beslissingen genomen: |
