Amateur radio station W1UP was started in 1913 by Phillip Sprague of Brewer. A collection that includes his radio equipment, a comprehensive
collection of vacuum tubes, a collection of telegraph keys and early radio equipment was recently donated by the Brewer Historical Society.
This collection will greatly complement our presentation of these
themes at the Newfield campus but will eventually make their way to
Orrington where a communications exhibit is planned for the near future;
we have been gifted the former North Castine Post Office which we will
move and develop a hands-on telegraph, radio, and telephone exhibit.
