Wow – great job guys! You know Scouting and Amateur Radio always seem to collide. Hi Hi. JOTA typically falls during Near-Fest Fall, and bi-annually Near Fest spring seems to collide with NH Scout Jamboree. N1FD will be represented at the NH Scout Jamboree this weekend with 2 GOTA Stations:
IC 7300
Buckmaster OCF Dipole
Solar Charged
IC 7100
With Hy End Fed 40-10
A backpack (SOTA / NPOTA station)
Yaesu 857
Alexloop Walkkham WRP Magnetic loop
LifePo Battery
SDR Weather Station featuring an SDR play
And a home brew QFH antenna
DF first responder (fox hunt) stations.
Thanks so much N1FDI learned it all from you guys- as soon as my travel schedule eases up I cant wait to start attending meetings and tech nights again!
Hi Greg,
Great to hear about the JOTA event. Mike and Bill were there to help with CW and I heard there was lots of interest! Hope to see you at some of our meetings again soon. Don’t forget that Field Day is coming soon! Take care,
Fred
NH Jamboree was fantastic we had about 300 visitors to our GOTA and Fox Hunt stations. HF was a little tough especially in the afternoon. Hope all is well with everyone at NARS, will get back as soon as I can! Thanks for posting the videos, it keeps me in touch!
