K4AMG will be operating FD as the GOTA station for W4CAR in FM 16.
We will be fully functional on F029, VO52, AO7, and AO73. We will not operate on SO50, but will listen using our handheld station.
On Friday before FD will be at a Cub Scout Day Camp in Norfolk, VA with 100 cubs.
W4RUE - Rue will man an on the air station, Duane - KJ4YKG will demonstrate a hand held WX SAT demo as per suggestions from the blog. NASA and Virginia Air and Space Center will provide Moon Rocks.
Rich - W4BUE will talk to the cubs and we will have Cube SAT toss demonstrating how the Cube SAT spins and rotates around the earth, and we may have one more ham (?) to show some EMCOM stuff.
We have space coloring books for the younger boys. For the older boys we will have a read and fill in the blank exercise on operating satellites from their own back yard and fun for the family.
Anyone interested in our Read and Fill in the blank activity it can be emailed to you. We also have a word search we decided not to use, but that is available if you want a copy.
We have 2 ARRL hand outs: * 22 Reasons * We Do That
And we have a letter to Scouts and Parents about how amateur radio can lead to a great technical career. On request a copy of that we can emailed it to you too. If we can get permission we will have pictures and maybe some videos, that will be limited by man power as we are lacking volunteers.
Everyone have a great FD.
R W4BUE

Yep, got all my stuff sorted out and staged, and just reserved the little U-Haul trailer I rent every year.
I'll be running the K6AA satellite station, so look for us!
