Relax! You've found just the right spot on the dial!
AntiqueRadioChat.com, your casual place to talk LIVE about all aspects of Antique Radios, their history, collection, repair and restoration. Think of it as your home away from home with comfy chairs where you can relax while chatting the night away about your favorite radio hobby. It's also a great place to get help LIVE and in real-time with all your tube related hobby questions. We're not just radios anymore, we talk about anything with a tube in it now, so if it glows, we talk about it here!
JavaChat Text Chat
Our popular text-based chat sessions using JavaChat start about 5PM PST every evening of every night and usually last until the wee hours of the morning. The topics can range widely but if it revolves around or through the warm glow of tubes, you'll probably find us chatting about it. This should be your first stop on the dial!
Userplane Audio/Video Chat
Want more? If you've got a webcam and want to show off your latest flea-market find, or that just-finished restoration, or maybe just want to chat together without having to type at all, then you can go one step further and drop into a Userplane audio/video (A/V) chat session so that up to three others can actually "see, hear and talk" to you LIVE. This option is open to you any time of the day or night.
Brand New Forums added!
Just added for our very First Anniversary, on May 4th, 2007, we now have our very own Forum community for all those topics that just need to be etched in stone somewhere. Real-time chat is great, but sometimes you need a more permanent home for your questions and answers to live. We foster a free, open, comfortable, and inviting atmosphere for discussions of ALL topics, not just Radios anymore. Feel a need to jump on a soapbox? You can here! Be sure to check out our forums for topics on radio, televisions, amateur radio, communication receivers, homebrew, test equipment and basically anything with a tube in it.
