K2BSA/5 on SO-50
by Tom Schuessler 27 Jan '13

27 Jan '13

Hi all, Please call K2BSA/5 on Saturday, February 2 as we activate the call from the National Scouting Museum for another Radio Merit Badge class day. The only satellite pass that will work for this day will be a local 60 degree, 1915Z AOS for SO-50. There will also be a station on HF on the Scout Frequencies most of the day from 1600Z to 2230Z, probably on 20 but we will see what propagation holds. Either on Satellite or HF, listen for us or give us a call and introduce the excitement of ham radio to some Scouts. Email me or call prior to 1500Z on Saturday the 2nd for any schedules. Tom Schuessler, N5HYP Irving Amateur Radio Club ScoutRadio coordinator 2713 Lake Gardens Drive Irving, Texas 75060 972-986-7456 214-403-1464 (Cell) n5hyp(a)arrl.net
