Scouts' Jamboree On The Air 2003
October 19, 2003
Local Club members helped Troop 533 leader John Sandoval,
KD5YVG, to set up a station at the Bastrop Fairgrounds. Mike, KD5VHF, Rick,
K5FNI, Kelly, KD5ZGM, and Tools, KD5TUP, came by to provide communications
on high frequency ham bands, as well as communications through the club's
UHF repeater by way of Echolink to various parts of the county. John Creamer,
W5QXH, provided a tour of the club's nearby repeater and discussion of how
it operates. The station was set up mid-morning and was taken down before
sundown. The Scouts all got chances to talk with other Scouts and leaders
in distant locations.
Rick Herndon, K5FNI, and Scouts at the two HF stations set up under a dining
camopy.
One Scout talks, while another waits his turn at the microphone.
