Antique Wireless Association (AWA): A Brief Overview and Historical Context

Antique Wireless Association, AWA - RF CafeThe Antique Wireless Association (AWA) is an organization that was founded in 1952 to preserve the history of radio communication and the development of wireless technology. The AWA was established by a group of individuals who were interested in collecting and restoring antique radio equipment.

The AWA's founders recognized the importance of preserving the history of radio technology, which had played a critical role in the development of communication and broadcasting. They also saw the need to create a community of people who shared their passion for antique radios and related technology.

The AWA has grown significantly since its inception, and it now boasts a membership of over 4,000 individuals from around the world. The organization is headquartered in Bloomfield, New York, and has several chapters throughout the United States and internationally.

The AWA is involved in a range of activities related to antique radio technology, including the restoration and preservation of antique radios and related equipment, the publication of research and articles related to radio history, and the organization of conferences and events focused on antique radio technology.
