The Clarksville Operating Radio Enthusiasts will be demonstrating the radio arts when they activate W4CHM from the Coca Cola Cafe at the Customs House Museum for The Internation Museums Weekend/Museums on the air event on June 19 2010 from 11:00 am until 4:00 pm.

For those interested in obtaining their Amateur Radio License C.O.R.E. will be sponsoring a testing session in the downstairs classroom of the Customs House Museum from 11:00 am until 12:30 pm. Test candidates will need to photo ID to the testing session. Those upgrading will need their current Amateur Radio license OR a valid CSCE from your previous test.

C.O.R.E. is looking forward to seeing those who will be testing as well as ANYONE who wants to stop by the Coca Cola Cafe and learn more about Amateur Radio.

See You There
