but the second was modified a bit and might be a useful review for some.  The changed slides are at.  NCRC modified slides for JOTA

A movie with our NCRC Eagle Scout Mac Cullen was also presented.  Very cool..

In addition  to Nancy’s JOTA story via ARRL. Jim, KC1LYG provided some additional photos.  Scouts had fun learning the basics of Amateur Radio.  Weather was beautiful!
