This past Saturday (October 18, 2025) the NCRC hosted a JOTA event at Fort Wetherill State Park in Jamestown.  Scout Troop 1, Rotary Club of Jamestown spent an afternoon of fun and amateur radio operating. The weather was perfect!

8 Scouts and 2 Troop Leaders joined NCRC’s Willy Maclean, Bill Bagwill and Jim Sendrak.

Scouts Matt, Alex and Logan made contacts in Canada, West Virginia, North Carolina, Indiana and West Virginia!

The boys were impressed by the radio technology. They all got to make several contacts around the country.

What? No cell phones or internet necessary??

Nope!
