[CTSARA] Boy Scout Ham Radio Event This Saturday, Please Participate

[Jon Perelstein]

Happy New Year all.


As some of you are aware, hams from all the local clubs will be participating in 
a Boy Scout radio merit badge event in Milford this coming Saturday (the 8th). 
 They have 46 Boy Scouts registered to participate.  I'm told this is one of the 
best turnouts ever.  I know  that Fred (K1FC) and Andy (N2CN) are participating 
from SARA, and there may be others that I'm not aware of (my apologies if I 
didn't include someone).

We need people to QSO with the Boy Scouts.  Each of the 46 Scouts must make five 
QSOs of at least two minutes, so they're going to need a lot of operators on the 
other end of those QSOs.

The Scouts will be operating as CALL SIGN: W1SPCOperating Hours:
10 am – Noon
1pm – 3pm

They expect to be on or near the following frequencies

VHF --> 505 repeater in West Haven
               Simplex  147.58 (might be 147.38 depending on other nearby 
activity)
               2 repeaters in Long Island
6m --> 50.125 USB calling freq. 
HF --> 20m 14.342.50 USB,  40m 7.185.5 LSB

Please do whatever you can to participate.  This is a great opportunity to  help 
get younger people interested in the hobby.
