Many club members participated in JOTA this weekend at Glen Park. Rob KB1ZZU will have many details at our next meeting (along with some excellent photos from Dave KC1AAA), but in round numbers approximately 20 scouts participated with a large number obtaining their Radio Merit Badge. Two VHF (analog and DSTAR) stations were fielded along with two HF stations. The DSTAR Reflector was much better organized this year and allowed scouts to have arm chair conversations with other scouts world-wide. HF propagation was pretty good with 17 meters open to Europe and Africa the entire time. Dulcet CW Tones were even heard emanating from Rich KC1ARO’s station!
Special hats-off to Jim KA1ZOU and his team of instructors — there were many excellent comments about the revised teaching plan this year.
