NCRC and Narragansett Council have teamed to provide an experience to Scouts in our area.
Help is needed for Jamboree On The Air (JOTA) on Saturday October 17 at Camp Yawgoog.
JOTA is the largest Scouting event in the world. Held annually the third full weekend in October. JOTA uses amateur radio to link Scouts and hams around the world, around the nation, and in the local community.
Given the COVID situation, a one-day event is planned on Saturday, Oct 17 to allow Scouts to experience radio operations as an element of the Radio Merit Badge. In the past, this is activity was at the Glen but this year it will be at Camp Yawgoog. Pico balloon with APRS, HF/VHF/FT-8 stations, and Fox Hunting are committed. Can you provide an educational booth or HAM station that would excite scouts about being HAM! Join our TEAM!
NCRC members are needed to supply equipment and mentoring as Scouts attempt contacts with the worldwide community. Local VHF operation and satellite contacts are contemplated. Please contact John Vecoli at john.vecoli@gmail.com with your availability and equipment ideas.
John K1JSM and Willy W1LY will be at Fort Adams State Park tomorrow sometime around 9:30 AM Friday September 17th. Look for them on 20 meter SSB 14.260 MHz +/- and check the spotting networks for W1LY or K1JSM calls.
