Dave,

There have been various JOTA events in and around Frederick County for
quite a few years, very likely pre-dating my Ham "career" by quite a
bit.  I'm pretty confident that there are some in the works already for
local Frederick Scouts.

Eric N8AAY has been a mainstay in these activities in recent years, and
I believe Scott N3MVV has also been involved in the last couple of
events, at least.  It would be worthwhile to contact one or both of them
for info on any plans for this year's JOTA event.

My purpose in posting Sal's request was not to encourage Scouts from
Frederick County to go to Gburg for JOTA, but to let FARC list
subscribers know, wherever they may be, that Gburg Hams are looking for
JOTA assistance from other Hams in the area.

If we could have someone from FARC meet them on Saturday afternoon at the CAP/FARC building and let them work the bands for a while, they would be very appreciative.
