Jamboree On The Air (JOTA)!
This year's date was October 15 with a great number of Boy and Cubs Scouts in attendance. Cub Scouts worked on the Communicator Activity Badge while the older Boy Scouts tackled the Radio Merit Badge.
A number of contacts were made throughout the day as the kids had the opportunity to get on the air. One special highlight was Girl Scout Catherine working a very lively 10-meters using her Tech license. Catherine (KB3WBU) made her very first DX contact with a gentleman in Switzerland!
