ClayARES Training AEC Joe Bassett (W1WCN) visited Cub Scout Pack 128 to share the fun of amateur radio. Twenty Cubs and Webelos learned about propagation, phonetics and prowords. By all accounts everyone had a good time with plenty of questions answered and 5 states (Michigan, Texas, Indiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma) contacted.
If you know of a Scout unit that would enjoy a visit, please let us know.
ARRL School Club Winter 2015 is in the books. Using the KB4SA call sign, the Pinewood Christian Academy Radio Club contacted 35 states, 12 DX entities (including Tasmania long path!) and several schools. Students from each grade (4th-8th) made contacts. 40 through 2 meters were worked with QSOs on all of them. Finally, the point total (30,160) was double the 2014 fall session.
Without question, it was a successful outing. Can’t wait for October 2015!
