>>
>> Other possibilities for the event:

>> 2. For the King’s Landing Park Amateur Radio Operators.
>> a. We will need at a minimum 5 amateur radio operators to operate activities in the park. For the VHF/UHF Repeater Nets, Net Control Operators can operate from anywhere to include your home. You do not have to be at the park.
>> b. We will two portable radios with the capability of hitting the two repeaters (VHF/UHF capable) with coax cable, and antennas. These should have the capability to run on batteries. There is a possibility we may be close to an electrical outlet but don't count on that happening.
>> c. We will need another portable radio on a handheld with the capability of running a Simplex Net within the park at 146.430 MHz.
>> d. Will need an HF Portable setup to operate on 20 meters SSB.
>> i. HF capable radio
>> ii. Antenna Tuner
>> iii. Antenna and coax
>> iv. Battery to operate portable
>> e. Satellite Reception.

>> ii. Tape Measure or other Fox Hunt antenna (Loop)
>> iii. Attenuator (Active or Passive)

>>
>> Youth Protection Training (YPT).
>>
>> The only training requirement is that you take the Youth Protection training.
>>
>> It is found at: http://www.scouting.org/Training/YouthProtection.aspx
>>
>> YPT is required for all adult volunteers that show up in the park for the CUBOREE.
>>
>> YPT Key points:
>>
>> * Remember two deep: Always have at least two adults with one scout or two scouts with one adult. If you plan to set up a simplex net, then as long as everyone is in sight of another adult, then you are within guidelines.
>>
>> * No touching unless safety and speed are needed. Or you ask permission first.
>>
>> This is my first take at the event. The plan is not set in concrete. I will appreciate any suggestions or corrections to the above plan. My proposed ideas leave a lot of room to be flexible just in case something bombs out, i.e. satellite reception or the HF propagation sucks.
>>
>> This is a great opportunity to display the various capabilities in Amateur Radio. As a youth my first exposure to Amateur Radio was through the Boy Scouts for my Signal and Radio merit badges. Hopefully we can create some interest to the boys for this great hobby.
>>
>> If you are interested in volunteering, please send an Email to Les Silva at: kh6cuj at aol.com Let us not clutter the reflector. If volunteering please provide the following:
>>
>> 1. The station/activity you want to work
>> 2. Your preferred location, i.e. home or at the park
>> 3. The hours that you can work (all day, or a portion of the day)
>> 4. Any equipment that you can provide to work the event
