Radio Merit Badge and Jamboree On The Air (JOTA)

 

October 15- 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM

 

Camp Tuscazoar

6066 Boy Scout Rd

Dover, OH 44622

 

It is time again for our annual Merit Badge and Jamboree on the Air Event. We expect to have over 100 eager youth interested in learning more about our great hobby and we need your help to put on an event this large!

 

 

Area ham radio operator Dale Lamm, NX8J, will be organizing the classroom Radio Merit Badge portion, and Jeff Voltz, KE8BKP, will be organizing the Jamboree On The Air portion of the event.

 

This event is so large that we are asking for volunteers from all local Amateur Radio Clubs.

 

Our intention is to set up stations throughout the camp and expose the Scouts to as big of a variety of the hobby as possible, while making contacts with other Scouts and radio amateurs throughout the world.

 

We plan to have the following stations set up if possible:

 

DX HF Station

North American HF Station

DMR Station

UHF/VHF Repeater Station

Digital Mode Station

CW Station

Fox Hunting Activity

Parks On The Air (POTA North Country Trail) Station

A Satellite station

 

I have volunteers for DMR, Digital already. I am looking for volunteers to head up or assist with each station (or groups of stations) for each activity. We are also open to whatever other concepts you would like to demonstrate, the sky (or ionosphere) is the limit!

 

This is a great opportunity for you club to show off yourclub's communications truck or trailer to the youth!

MARC is recognized by the ARRL as a Special Service Club (SSC). You may be wondering, “What is an SSC, and how does this affect me?”

 

What is a Special Service Club?

A club that exists to go above and beyond for their communities and for Amateur Radio is what defines a Special Service Club (SSC).  They are the leaders in their Amateur Radio communities who provide active training classes, publicity programs, and actively pursue technical projects and operating activities.

What about MARC?

As an ARRL Special Service Club, we have met our agreement to develop our skills in specified areas during the past two years in accordance with the guidelines in the ARRL SSC Active Club On-Line Primer.

We have worked closely with our Affiliated Club Coordinator throughout the year to develop these skills. We schedule regular, active training classes to help prospective hams study to pass their required FCC license testing. We have a recently improved publicity program to educate the community with regards to our function.

We have club members who actively pursue technical projects and operating activities. We sponsor and participate in important ARRL and hobby related events such as Field Day.

Bottom Line
