ARRL? Museum and Research Library - RADIO ALPHA

[Pete, WA2CWA]

From the ARRL web site dated 8/1/2025:



Radio Alpha, the ARRL? Museum and Research Library, is an all-volunteer project of ARRL The National Association for Amateur Radio?. This collection is still under development, and you are welcome to browse the library. Most entries currently include only the most basic information. Radio Alpha will take years to complete, but will never actually be finished, because the history of amateur radio is still being written. Our goal is to distinguish Radio Alpha from other online sources through completeness, quality of information, and careful attention to detail?all curated in a clean, well-organized environment free of advertising, spam, and clickbait. Work will proceed in two phases: The first phase is simply to identify significant people, organizations, manufacturers, events, and equipment, and establish placeholders for them in the database. In the second phase, details will be added. We invite your comments, criticisms, and suggestions. Please email them to Chuck Penson, WA7ZZE, principal architect, at radioalpha@arrl.org.

I could be wrong, but I believe Radio Alpha is an online library.
Once upon a time, when you walked into the ARRL lobby, they had a large viewable type museum with lots of stiff in glass enclosed cabinets. Don't know whatever happened to all that stuff.
The ARRL also has the heritage museum which you could visit: http://www.arrl.org/arrl-heritage-museum

I sure like the pictures of the Iconic Hallicrafters SX-28, very Cool.
This seems to be some sort of new site? They are trying to start? Or is it something they have had that I was not aware of...anyway,
Beautiful classic vintage equipment is always good.

It looks like it was started in August 2025.
