BUSY WEEK FOR RADIO SCOUTING
PAUL: Jamboree on the Air is coming up fast, but that hasn't slowed down
the scouts working as K2BSA. Here's Amateur Radio Newsline's Bill Stearns,
NE4RD.
BILL'S REPORT: This week in Radio Scouting, as we are quickly approaching
the weekend of Jamboree on the Air on October 14th through the 16th, we
are pleased to report that you will be hearing K2BSA portable stations
in almost every call area! We also hope to hear your callsign on the air
supporting scouts in this high activity event.
Here are all of our JOTA activations:
Dudley Allen, KD0NMD, will be the control operator for the portable 0
station at the MAC-Jubilee at Eugene Mahoney State Park in Ashland, NE.
Andrew Cogswell, W2PSK, will be the control operator for the portable 2
station at Quail Hill Scout Reservation in Manalapan, NJ.
Donald Kunst, W3LNE, will be the control operator for the portable 3
station in Erdman, PA.
Alonzo Westbrook, KJ4VPE, will be the control operator for the portable
4 station at the Upper Cumberland District Fall Camporee at Camp Tubb at
Charles Parish Scout Reservation in Walling, TN.
Thomas Schuessler, N5HYP, will be the control operator for the portable
5 station at the National Scouting Museum in Irving, TX.
Fred Stieg, KT6K, will be the control operator for the portable 6 station
at Table Mountain in the Angeles National Forest in Weightwood, CA.
Tyler Williams, KI7EDX, will be the control operator for the portable 7
station at the Nez Perce Fair Pavilion in Lewiston, ID.
Edward Evans, WV8ED, will be the control operator for the portable 8
station in Welch, WV.
John Phillips, KA9PGC, will be the control operator for the portable 9
station at Potato Creek State Park in North Liberty, IN.
Ray Hollenbeck, KL1IL, will be the control operator for the portable KL7
station in Wasila, AK.
We also received a report from our KL6 activation on October 1st on the
Island of Oahu. Evan Esaki, WH6ECG, reported that they were expecting
200-250 scouts, but schedule changes meant that Scouts did not rotate
through many of the stations at the event, including the Radio Scouting
station. In spite of this, four Venture Crew members made it over, and
talked on the air with contacts from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Central
New England, and Indiana. Evan said that "The station made a significant
impression on this Venture Crew unit, particularly as this group is
focused on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM)."

BACK TO SCHOOL WITH A "CLUB ROUNDUP"
PAUL/ANCHOR: As with just about everything else, amateur radio has its
seasons too. The season for "back to school" takes on new meaning a little
later this month. Let's hear more from Amateur Radio Newsline's Stephen
Kinford, N8WB.
STEPHEN KINFORD: It's time to get on the air and support our school ham
radio clubs, by participating in the bi-annual School Club Roundup! The
on-air activity, which for some is a contest, is 1300 UTC Monday, October
17, through 2359 UTC on Friday, October 21. During School Club Roundup,
school club stations get on the air to contact as many others as possible.
Multipliers are awarded for contacting other schools and clubs, but
individuals often make up a majority of the contacts. Bonuses are also
awarded for the number of states, provinces, and countries worked during
the week. Give the students someone to talk to, and make a point to get
on the air during this week. Each station counts once per band, and mode,
and the exchange is simply your callsign, RS(T), class (school, club, or
individual), and state, province, or country. Logs are not required, but
they are appreciated -- and can be submitted online. For more information,
go to arrl.org/school-club-roundup, and help our schools make the grade!
Suggested frequencies and complete rules are available on the web site,
too.
Reporting for Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Stephen Kinford, N8WB.
