FEAR NOT!  
SPRING IS COMING!  ;-)

Hello!  
What if there were a way that you could help to bring Amateur Radio to
thousands of Scouts in one day? You’d be interested, wouldn’t you? 

ConnJam 2015 is a great opportunity to present Amateur Radio to all levels
of Boy Scouts (Cubs to Ventures), Adult Scout Leaders, and Parents. In most
cases this will be their very first exposure to Ham Radio.  This event
expects to draw between 2,000 and 3,000 campers and visitors over the
weekend.

Our Amateur Radio Plan for this event includes 6 Activities:
- GOTA Stations (3 HF, 1 VHF/UHF)
- Amateur Radio Direction Finding (ARDF)/Foxhunting activities
- Radiogram Message Center
- Hands-On CW Key Table (need: 12 keys with oscillators and 2 Instructors)
- Information Booth (Video and Handout Brochures).
- Data Communications and APRS Demonstration Table.

WE NEED YOUR HELP

Activity Coordinators
We have gotten off to a great start and have appointed the following people
to fill 3 of the 6 Activity Coordinator positions.

- GOTA Stations: Ed Rhodes WA1LEI (wa1ei "at" yahoo "dit" com)

- ARDF/Foxhunting: Ned Bassick KA1CVV (ka1cvv "at" optonline "dit" net)

- CW Table: Hugo Catta AA1XV ( hugo "at" optonline "dit" net)

We still have 3 Activity Coordinator positions open:
- Radiogram Message Center 
- Information Booth (“Radio Answer Man” with Video Display, and Brochures)
- Data Communications and APRS 

As you look at that list again, think about how you can contribute to this
effort to bring Amateur Radio to all those scouts and “excite” their
imagination.

We also need:
- Multiple Volunteers to man the Activity sites
- Folks to Loan Equipment and Materials to support the Activities
- One person to coordinate Signage (design & production) for the 6
Activities.

How can YOU be part of our Amateur Radio Team for this event? 

Please contact the specific Activity Coordinator at their email address
shown above.
