[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Need a handful of HAM Operators, January 16, 2016

[Steven Wagner]

Folks, January 15-17 is the Bull Run District Boy Scout Winter Camporee.
The theme is a Klondike derby, the teams will build a sled and trek to
fictional "towns" at Camp Snyder in Gainesville, VA. I would like to host a
"radio shack" in each town so the scouts can call into the main station for
location, updates, bulletins, and trek time on the course. The station will
operate on Saturday, January 16, from 0800-1300--I need six operator's and
use of your HT. I expect to run on simplex since we will be within a
half-mile of one another.

if someone can bring the trailer as a base station--i'll get you a heater
and hot coffee!! as a note, the "towns" will be outside, mainly exposed
areas near a fire-ring, the scouts will be performing scout-skills such as
first-aid, knots, lashings, fire-starting, etc. We expect in excess of 250
scouts and approximately 20 sled teams staggered over the 4-5 hours.

Please let me know if you have questions or additional information; thanks
in advance for your consideration to join us at the Klondike Derby.
