==>JAMBOREE ON THE AIR (JOTA) 2004 IS OCTOBER 16-17

The 47th Jamboree On The Air (JOTA) takes place October 16-17. Details on
JOTA also appear in September QST, page 104. JOTA is an annual event in
which Boy and Girl Scouts and Guides from all over the world speak to each
other via Amateur Radio to share experiences and ideas. Since 1958, when
the first Jamboree On The Air was held, millions of Scouts have become
acquainted through this event.

Amateur Radio clubs and individual licensees make it possible for Scouts
to get on the air, and your club is invited to be a part of JOTA 2004. If
your club is planning a JOTA activity, register it on the ARRL Youth Skeds
Database page <http://www.arrl.org/FandES/ead/youthskeds/>. There,
youngsters and parents can search for scheduled on-the-air activities in
which to participate. You also can contact your local Boy Scouts of
America Council <http://www.scouting.org/nav/enter.jsp?s=xx&c=lc> and let
it know that you're planning a JOTA activity.

With assistance from ARRL HQ staff members, Education and Technology
Program Coordinator Mark Spencer, WA8SME, will operate Maxim Memorial
Station W1AW on Saturday, October 16, for JOTA. "This year the focus will
be on achieving the radio merit badge," he noted. Spencer has set up a
program that should allow Scouts participating at W1AW to walk away from
the JOTA experience with the merit badge, "with some preparation and a
little homework on the Scout's part," he added.

ARRL staffer Larry Wolfgang, WR1B--a veteran Scout leader--will be setting
up a station at the Mohegan District Fall Camporee at Waterford Beach in
Connecticut. "We will be operating WA1BSA," Wolfgang said, adding that
he's expecting some 400 to 500 Scouts to turn out for the campout.

The ARRL New Hampshire Section, the New Hampshire Amateur Radio Service
Club (WB1BSA) and the Lawrence L. Lee Scouting Museum
<http://www.scoutingmuseum.org/> have announced that the Max I. Silber
Memorial Station will be on the air during JOTA 2004 using special event
call sign N1S--primarily using SSB and SSTV on 20 and 40 meters.

Scouts and scouters worldwide also can participate in JOTA via Internet
Radio Linking Project (IRLP) Reflector 9205. There's more information on
the IRLP Web site <http://www.irlp.net>.

If you hear any participating JOTA stations on the air, be sure to make a
contact--and don't forget to QSL. There's more information about JOTA on
the Web <http://www.scouting.org/international/jota.html> and
<http://www.arrl.org/FandES/ead/jota.html>.

Hello All!
    I hope everyone is well and getting back to some kind of a normal life
again. Just a short Question to everyone who would normally be at our club
meetings. I would like to know the general consensus, if you guys want a
meeting this month or would rather wait until another date. Either this
month or our regular meeting time next month I know this month has taken a
toll on everyone myself included so I thought I'd ask and see how everyone
feels about it. Just send a reply to this list or to me and I'll let
everybody what's going on.




Thanks for reading this And have a great day!

I just wanted to invite you to the rescheduled demo at the St. Lucie EOC 
next Wednesday. Fell free to bring a guest or two to the meeting.
The meeting starts at 7:30 promptly. We will need all the time we have as 
we are going to try and cover the full gambit of EMCOMMS in the demo.

If you don't know what EMCOMMs are then this is the meeting that you MUST 
make.
It has to do with what we are about in a emergency with supporting our 
agencies in the county.


This was going to be held at the August meeting but we had other plans come 
up with the storms so we had to cancel it.

We will be covering a LOT of information so if you would like to record it 
feel free to. As a matter of fact if someone would like to play camera 
operator and would like to bring a video camera and record the whole demo 
please let me know and I'll work with you on getting it set up. I can bring 
my camera tripod but my camera doesn't work. I just found this out when I 
had the thought of recording the demo so we can all have a copy.

Any questions just ask!!!


Also with the 147.345 repeater being down we are going to move the Fort 
Pierce ARC Tuesday night net to the 147.240 repeater until we can get the 
repeater back on the air. It will be November before we can even get on the 
list to get a tower climb to replace both the 2 meter and 440 antennas. I 
just figured I'd put this out in this message since I'm sending it to both 
groups.

Message-ID: <6.1.2.0.2.20041018212654.01c18f20@mail.bellsouth.net>


Please announce this through your club and all other appropriate means.


Hams Remember Children

We need your help.

Over the past weeks, we have all heard of the devastation in central Florida.
Many hams actually heard it first hand through volunteer service or on the 
HF nets.
While many areas of the country were affected to differing degrees, Florida 
was the worst.
Thousands of families are without a place to live and will be homeless over 
the coming
Holiday Season.  For a child suddenly living out of a tent, or car or 
someone else's home,
the 2004 holiday season will be anything but jolly.
But hams are coming to their rescue in a new way.  Your club can help!


Between now and Thanksgiving, hams across the country are being asked to 
purchase a
new child's toy and send it with a QSL card or 3x5 showing their callsign to:

  Ham Radio
  The United Way White Dove Project
  50 Kindred Street - Suite 207
  Stuart, FL  34994

"The storms and their aftermath have been especially traumatic for children.
In addition to the frightening experience of going through the hurricanes,
youngsters are coping with a great deal of stress felt within their families
and at school," writes Carol Hodnett, a Director at the United Way site, who
will be handling the distribution end of the program.

"Because of the overall strain on our state, we have been looking outside 
the area
for help in supporting the White Doves Holiday Project this year. We are so 
incredibly
thankful to you and the American Radio Relay League for thinking of the 
children of
our area in planning your toy drive."

The Martin County United Way in Stuart still has the facilities to manage a 
large toy
Drive.  They have agreed to serve as the collection point and also coordinate
distribution to the surrounding counties whose agencies are no longer capable
of managing such a project.

"Just let me know what you need," offered Steve Blary, N1XC, the ARES 
Emergency
Coordinator for Stuart County, Florida.  "This is a great idea and we're 
ready to help at this end."

Unwrapped toys for boys and girls of ages 1 to 14 will be gathered and 
shipped by amateur
radio operators to the Stuart facility between now and Thanksgiving for 
distribution over the
holidays.   Non-hams are also encouraged to join in this effort to provide 
for the thousands
of children suddenly homeless due to the series of hurricanes.

Those wishing to donate money instead of toys can send a check to:
  White Dove, c/o United Way of Martin County
  50 Kindred Street, Suite 207, Stuart, FL  34994

Recent figures from FEMA and the Red Cross showed over 22,000 homes 
destroyed and
over 40,000 severely damaged.  Whole families who once had their own home 
or apartment
are now living wherever they can, in vehicles, or tents, or sharing 
undamaged homes or shelters.
It is not simply a shortage of affordable housing; it is a lack of ANY housing.

We are asking all hams to make the coming Holiday Season a little bit 
brighter for a child by
participating in this toy drive.
Purchase a new toy and ship it to the Ham Radio/United Way-White Dove 
address.
Maybe it's not a new home to live in, but knowing that someone "out there" 
remembers you is
a start for these children.

What kind of toy?
  The homeless children come in all ages,
  but we suggest thinking of age 1 to 14, both boys and girls.

Should I wrap it?
  No, just put it in the box unwrapped.

Why the QSL card?
  The cards will be collected and sent to the ARRL headquarters to track 
results.

Can my non-ham friends join in?
  SURE!  And if you give them your QSL cards to put in the boxes,
  your area will get the credit for their generosity.

Can't I just give to something here locally?
  Of course you can.  We're not saying "don't give" to any other place or 
cause.
  We are simply offering this option for hams to both show the world that we
  remember the victims in disasters after the headlines are gone, and doing
  something good for children in real need.

I know our club can get more people involved than their club....
  Club and area and section challenges are encouraged.
  We'll use the QSL cards as a way to track results.

Can I just give money?
  Money is always good.  Checks should be made payable to:
  White Doves, c/o United Way of Martin County
  50 Kindred Street, Suite 207, Stuart, FL  34994

You can help make the coming Holiday Season a little bit brighter for a 
child.  Maybe it's
not a new home to live in, but knowing that someone "out there" remembers 
you is a start
for these children.  Buy a toy (or three!) and send them with your QSL card 
today.

Is anyone going to make the meeting???? I haven't heard from anyone. Please 
drop a note to the list so we can get a idea on how many are going to make it!!


I just wanted to invite you to the rescheduled demo at the St. Lucie EOC 
next Wednesday. Fell free to bring a guest or two to the meeting.
The meeting starts at 7:30 promptly. We will need all the time we have as 
we are going to try and cover the full gambit of EMCOMMS in the demo.

If you don't know what EMCOMMs are then this is the meeting that you MUST 
make.
It has to do with what we are about in a emergency with supporting our 
agencies in the county.


This was going to be held at the August meeting but we had other plans come 
up with the storms so we had to cancel it.

We will be covering a LOT of information so if you would like to record it 
feel free to. As a matter of fact if someone would like to play camera 
operator and would like to bring a video camera and record the whole demo 
please let me know and I'll work with you on getting it set up. I can bring 
my camera tripod but my camera doesn't work. I just found this out when I 
had the thought of recording the demo so we can all have a copy.

Any questions just ask!!!


Also with the 147.345 repeater being down we are going to move the Fort 
Pierce ARC Tuesday night net to the 147.240 repeater until we can get the 
repeater back on the air. It will be November before we can even get on the 
list to get a tower climb to replace both the 2 meter and 440 antennas. I 
just figured I'd put this out in this message since I'm sending it to both 
groups.

CLUB COMMISSIONS FOR RENEWALS ARE BACK!



ATTENTION ALL ARRL AFFILIATED CLUBS:



"We're not just talking about 'the good old days'?ARRL is bringing them back!"



We may not be able to stretch our dollar as far as it used to go, but ARRL 
has found a way for you to add MORE dollars to your club treasury. How? 
ARRL is simply going to turn back time.



Many clubs have expressed a desire to see Club Commission Membership 
Recruitment Program return to the way it was in ?the good old days?. Way 
back then, in addition to clubs receiving a commission for every new 
membership submission, a commission was also granted to clubs submitting 
renewals for existing members.



ARRL is very appreciative of your recruitment efforts AND your opinions are 
valued. That?s why ARRL is bringing back commissions for renewals in 
addition to the existing commission for new member sign-ups. You?ll still 
receive a $15* commission for each new or lapsed (over 2 years) membership 
you submit, BUT in addition, you?ll receive a $2* commission for every 
renewal you send in.



So, as far as shoring up your club treasury is concerned, the sky?s the 
limit. Hold a membership recruitment/renewal night, or perhaps you have 
your own strategies of how to capture those commissions (see <Tips on 
Recruiting>). But whatever you do
help spread the word:



CLUB COMMISSIONS FOR RENEWALS ARE BACK!



For complete details, see the ARRL Club Commission Membership Recruitment 
Program 
<<http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/club/forms/club-commission-program.html>http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/club/forms/club-commission-program.html>.



*Commission not applicable for Family or Blind Memberships. This program 
cannot be combined with any other special offer or discount program.

Has a date been set for our hamfest next year? I want to get it out on the 
lists so people will see it.

Not that I know of Bill.  We haven't had a meeting to discuss it  yet.  
Probably the Nov meeting we can discuss this and then discuss Field  Day a the same 
time.
