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

[Douglas - WA1SFH]

Greetings from Milford,
Actually, Milford does a good shot to the 440 repeater in Norwalk.
Let me suggest this as an option to the "Radio Room" crew.

Also, we will be working the K1SOX repeater (146.505) which is also Echolink
compatible.  

Regards, 
Douglas Sharafanowich, WA1SFH

Hi Jon,
You might not have the answer to this but someone reading might..
Is there any way they could use the Norwalk Repeater (K1RFD node), or
another 
one around, with Echolink? I could participate and others might also, on
either 
K1RFD or another node closer to Milford ( I will be in 'Taxachusettes' this 
weekend). The scouts would not really need to know that the person on the
other 
end was via a link. Or maybe it would be frowned upon since half the link
isn't 
"real" radio (in some folks opinion!) .
Hope they get enough hams..
73 all, de N1EZT

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.

Jon
