[SADXA] Scouting weekend help

[Douglas Todd]

This weekend, Saturday the 19th Raytheon is having their second annual scout day at the Airport sight. I have volunteered to help with the Radio Merit badge. I'll be setting up a 1/4 wave 40 meter vertical with the K2 and letting the scouts make third party contacts. Last year 60 scouts made their first contact on HF and we're looking for more this year.

I would like an insurance policy. Last year, we made contacts with hams in CA and TX, but the bands were dead for a good part  of time. I'm hoping to set up a schedule with a few members so that I have an insurance policy and can make local contacts this year if the bands are dead. 

I'm looking for volunteers for  this! We'll be on air from approximately 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM on the 19th. I'll have my cell phone and can call you to let you know that we need your help. 


Please let me know if you can work a few Q's with boy and girl scouts.
