[K6BW] Scout-O-Rama this Saturday

[Bill Smith]

The 2003 Annual Scout-O-Rama is to be held this Saturday from 11:00am to =
4:00pm at the Hamilton Field Amphitheater, Ignacio.  The Amphitheater is =
located on the "far side" of our hill - when you cross the white bridge, =
don't turn on Crescent into the Coast Guard housing, keep going toward =
the old runway.  When you get to the bottom of the hill, bear right and =
look to your right.  The amphitheater is between the old Admin center =
and the bowling alley.  Use the K6BW repeater to find us.

We should plan to set up beginning at 9:30am.  Can anyone help convey a =
table from the clubhouse down to the amphitheater?

We won't have 110VAC electricity, so charge your batteries and bring =
portable rigs, esp. your Rock-Mites if you have one.  We have requested =
a location near trees which should provide us with antenna sky hooks.

Last year, we set up a simple telegraph key and provided charts with =
Morse code for simple words such as "CAT" and "DOG."   We had on hand a =
Morse chart for the entire alphabet.  The young Scouts were delighted =
they could send and receive code, many expressed "It's just like the =
Titanic!"  We offered very simple prizes or a glass of juice to =
"winners".

Hope you can attend.  It is really fun to introduce the magic of radio =
to youngsters.
