> The local area Boy Scouts will be holding their semi-annual Camporee on the third weekend of October (18/19/20).  It will be held at Long Farm, off of Three Notch Road in Mechanicsville.  That is also the weekend for the Boy Scout Jamboree-on-the-Air (JOTA), the Boy Scout rough approximation of Field Day.

> One of the organizers  (cc'd above: Steve McDanal) for the Camporee has asked if we could also set up a station to participate in the JOTA. 
> We could also (maybe) offer Radio merit badge following the script from the recently held National Jamboree. 
> I am game for supporting this request.  My only problem is that my rig that is best (ICOM 706) for this scenario is on loan out of state.
