K2BSA/5 on satellite for JOTA this Saturday.
Please look for K2BSA/5 running satellite operations for Jamboree on the Air this Saturday from the National Scouting Museum in Irving Texas in EM12. Andrew Koenig, KE5GDB and Keith Pugh, W5IU will be running the sat. station this year from about 1500-2200Z on the 15th. We even have the educational model of the Fox satellites to show off to the Scouts. Please give us a shout and be patient if a Scout happens to be on mic. Your interest in contacting us might just spur a prospective new ham or two to take up our challenging aspect of the hobby.
Tom Schuessler N5HYP,
Good morning
Postponed to this weekend due to Hurricane Matthew, we will be operating SATCOMs and HF at the Chesapeake heritage and Waterway Festival in Chesapeake, VA. Operations will start as early as 0900 - 1600 EDT.
We are a small group mentoring youth in electronics and wireless communications and sponsor to school amateur radio clubs in Chesapeake - W4FOS and W4GBH.
Caution: If we do not have enough people to show up we could miss a pass if we are busy speaking with parents and students.
K4AMG outfits the schools with complete HF stations, and 2 meter equipment. Our Portable SATCOM Station is computerized dialed into a TS 2000, Yeasu AZL rotors, Preamps, and M2 Beams.
We sponsor a STEM TREASURE HUNT where the winning class wins a price.
The students travels from vendor to vendor collecting answers to about 10 -15 questions they are giving. The class with the most correct answers wins.
K4AMG is a public charity 501c3.
Maybe we will hear you on the linier birds.
