    Amateur Radio and Scouting through ARRL  Scout Radio Yahoo Group Radio Merit Badge Class: The Radio Merit Badge (RMB) is a great opportunity
to introduce Scouts to the many facets of our hobby.
While not a licensing course, the RMB provides Scouts with an
introduction to many topics related to Radio such as how do
radio waves travel, how call signs are given out and how to tell
where a station is located by those call signs, some basic
electronic concepts and how to use amateur radio in an emergency
situation. A highlight of the day is giving these Scouts
the opportunity to make real on the air contacts via either HF
or VHF/UHF communications. Scouting and Ham radio have a long history. This year marks the 62nd Jamboree On The Air (JOTA), a world wide event that puts Scouts in contact with Scouts via Amateur Radio. The JOTA program features not only HF Voice and PSK31 but also UHF IRLP and local contacts. We also provide ancillary activities. We use as much volunteer help as we can get to make JOTA a success so please contact Tom Schuessler using the "Contact Us" link to the right. |
