John, WA1ABI, supplied this nice photo of the scouts Friday night at Glen Park. It seems like a great place to be!
Lunchtime turns Glenn Park into a Ham Paradise
The antennas have been raised, and the rigs have been tested, so NCRC is all ready for the Boy Scout Jamboree which starts Saturday morning and continues through Sunday at Noon.
Listen to W1SYE if you get a chance and help the scouts with a on-air contact. Complete information on JotA can be found here.
If you click on this link you will see how Willy, W1LY, launched one of the lines used to support the HF antenna (a 135 foot dipole): W1LY Launching Antenna
Help Us Help Scouts with a QSO
W1SYE will be on the air this weekend, starting at 8:30 AM Saturday morning, as the Jamboree on the Air station for the Boy Scouts. Each scout will need to make 10 minutes worth of QSOs as part of their merit badge requirements. We will be staffing a HF station and a VHF station, and would very much like to have club members standing by to help a scout with a QSO.
