This week, we help plan your vacation with list of radio-related museums you can see between visits to Wally World.

The Museum of Television and Radio has brick and mortar venues on both coasts, New York City on the right coast, Los Angeles on the left coast.

Tim Duffy, K3LR, wrote recently, "How about telling us where all of the radio museums and other radio related history sites are across the USA? I need to take a family vacation and it should be radio-educational. Tell me where to go!"

Gladly! This week's installment of Surfin' consists of a list I compiled of radio-related museums located in the USA and Canada that have Web sites you can access for further information. Note that the list only includes brick and mortar museums and not "virtual" bit and byte museums that exist on the Internet-only. (The virtual museums will be the ideal subject for this column when there is a foot or two of snow on the ground making it difficult to drive to a brick and mortar museum.)

The list is organized by location, ie, country and state/province. If I missed any, let me know and I'll do an update later.
