[Bgmrc-list] Radio Merit Badge

[Ellis]

The Club has been asked by the Macedonia Church and Moreland Boy Scout Troops to conduct an Amateur Radio Merit Badge class.  I need Hams who are willing to assist.  The material to be covered is at a Tech Class level and all materials needed for instruction will be provided.  In addition to instructors I will need Hams who are willing to answer calls on 2 meter to provide the scouts an opportunity to have a short QSO. The tentative date is January 20 from 8 - 5.  Even if you can only devote a few hours please sign up for morning or afternoon.

This is an opportunity to create some interest in Amateur radio and get some fresh blood into the hobby.  From the participants we hope to generate enough interest for a later class that would complete their preparation for the Tech Exam.

This is our chance to light a candle rather than curse the darkness relative to waning interest in Ham radio.  Give me a positive response so we can fulfill our mission.
Thanks, Ellis
