Dan, fellow hams, et al,
The Jamboree on the Air  is the weekend of October 18/19.  
That just happens to be the weekend of the Boy Scouts fall camporee at Long
Farm... again. 
The organizers have asked us to set up again. 

My thoughts: 
HF will be crap again, maybe worse than Field Day.  So making HF/DX contacts
during the day will be difficult.   My thinking is to set up so that we can
connect to an IRLP node, or something like that. Maybe connect to one of the
regional linked networks.  
Boys also liked the digital, and the adults liked seeing the different
antennas.

My problem:  I don't have the equipment and don't know how.  

I can bring the tent again.  And I will bring food again.  And Coffee!
Could I get some help again this year?

Thanks
N4PGG  Grant
