Its been 4 years.

K2BSA's going back to Summit Bechtel for the 2017 National Scouting Jamboree in Beckley WV, we arrive this weekend to begin building the station. Help us show off Amateur Radio to the many (25,000) scouts at the Jamboree. We'll be on the FM and linear satellites.

I appreciated K8YSE's synopsis from 2013 so much I thought I'd share it again.

W4UOO is operating as K2BSA from Beckley West Virginia EM97. West Virginia is a rare state on satellites. It's small and very mountainous and most places are down in the valleys such that they don't have a low horizon. I drove down to Beckley several years ago to hand out EM97. It was 300 miles one way. Now is your chance to work this grid and state. Mike was able to work down pretty low. This is a great opportunity. He was worked on FO-29. 73, John K8YSE
