No "words of wisdom" this go-around...
I was contacted by Matt Mossor, N8QYA. He is the Boy Scout Advisor (Tuscarawas County).
He asked to spread the word that on May 13th, they will be providing the opportunity for the scouts to earn their Radio Merit Badge at the Tuscarawas County Fairgrounds.
Dale Lamm, Perry Ballinger, Jeff Voltz and others have been involved in this worthwhile program. Matt said they are again encouraging any interested hams to help or bring a set-up (rig / antenna etc.) or just come to help and assist the scouts.
It will be similar to previous sessions as the scouts will spend time at different
"stations" and take turns with hands-on activities.
They are also in need of operators from home to be available on 2 meters and local HF to provide contacts to the scouts.
Contact Jeff Voltz is you can help. His email- mailto:jvoltzoilandgas@yahoo.com.

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
How can MARC assist you in your ham radio journey? Let us know by sending us a note at: club@w8np.net.
