[nrv-hams] Jamboree on the Air

[Carter Craigie]

Thanks for the Heads Up Notice, Nathaniel. I will put the date on my
calendar. I hope you all have a fun-filled safe weekend.
I will try to be on my FM 2M radio, and on the VTARA frequency on Saturday.

Hello, NRV Club!  I hope you are doing well.

I wanted to invite you to come participate in Jamboree on the Air next
weekend.  It takes place Oct 18-19 and has the goal of getting both boy and
girl scouts on the air.  You can read more about it here:
http://www.scouting.org/jota.aspx

There are a couple of way for you to participate:

1. Come join us in person at the Chantilly Festival Farm in Floyd!  We will
be working with Troop 704 of Blacksburg.  You are welcome any time on
Saturday and can even camp over into Sunday.  Dave Larsen, KK4WW, is our
host.  They have a really nice station out there.  Other scout groups are
welcome on Saturday as well.  So, if you know more scouts who may be
interested, feel free to invite them.  Directions to Chantilly can be found
here: http://www.chantillyfarm.com/directions

2. Get on the air from your own home an talk to scouts!  Scouts need patient
operators to talk to.  If you hear scouts calling CQ or listening on the
repeaters next weekend, please talk with them.  Remember, you may need to
coach them through their QSO and come up with interesting conversations.
But, it will be worth it!

This is a very important event. you never know when you might inspire
someone to an interesting life or career through ham radio!
