[HCARC] Boy Scout Jamboree on the Air

[Robert Collier]

Good afternoon, fellow hams. Would any of you be willing to make your station available to a few Scouts for Jamboree on the Air the weekend of October 20-22? (Sadly my antenna is currently down). You can specify what day (Saturday or Sunday) / and the times the station the Scouts could stop by. I don't expect there will be many and but I'd at least like to make the opportunity available.

The Scouts are 11-16 years old from Boy Scout Troop 111 sponsored by Notre Dame Church in Kerrville. The troop even has its own club call sign - KD5ZCN

Here's the ARRL website describing the event, bands, and rules: http://www.arrl.org/jamboree-on-the-air-jota

If you'd like to go a step further, we'd be happy to have a representative come to our troop meeting next Monday night, 7:00 pm in the Notre Dame school gym to give a short (10-minute) presentation on JOTA and the significance of amateur radio.
