2025 All American 5 Radio Repair “Summer Camp”
June 9 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
2025 AA5 Radio Repair “Summer Camp”
One week: Monday, June 9 thru Friday, June 13 – 10am to 3pm
Our first All American Five radio repair Summer Camp was so well received that we had a waiting list for 2025. The date has been set for the week of June 9th.
The 2025 summer camp starts on Monday, June 9th and runs through Friday, June 13th. The venue is at the Museum of Radio and Technology, 1640 Florence Ave, Huntington, West Virginia 25701. Classes are going to be four to five hours long per day, starting at 10:00am. Lunch will be from 12:00 to 12:50pm then the afternoon session will start again at 1:00 pm. A typical class day will be divided into somewhat equal parts classroom instruction and hands on lab work. MRT will provide the tools, test equipment, and even a five-tube radio to repair and keep if you don’t have one of your own to work on. Should you like to bring your own radio to summer camp it must be approved by either Bob Ripley or Bill Reich prior to the class start date. The radio should be a five-tube type without a power transformer. Tabletop radios are preferred. Either of these folks can be reached at mratwv@gmail.com.
The cost of the course is $225.00, and it is due on Monday morning, the first day of class. The student will also need to bring a three-ring binder to hold the class hand out material, a pencil, and a calculator capable of doing scientific notation (most modern cell phones have this have this capability built into them). Participants are responsible for their own lodging and meals except for Friday in which the MRT staff will be providing a pizza lunch for all that day.
Classes are limited to six participants, and if last year is any indicator seating will fill quickly. If you are interested but have questions or if you would like to sign up contact Bob Ripley at mratwv@gmail.com.
