Where should we listen in HF? Perhaps on the world Scout frequencies?

It looks like ARRL Kids Day is Sunday, Jan 8. Is that correct?

GA,

I thank you all for your input to my question.

I have taken your input and that of my {currently} two co-staff for the RADIO part of the event and submitted my proposal to the PIC.

I have done this before and I am currently running Radio Merit Badge at our Council Merit Badge College so I am not totally new to running a demo.

I wanted new input to make sure I wasn’t missing “things”… again thank you for your input.

IF, what I asked for gets approved and I see no reason why it won’t as I was asked to put on a RADIO demo, I “should” operate from Friday afternoon until Sunday morning. I don’t know if “we” will operate 24 hours straight, but we will be on the air as much as possible. I will try and develop a time plan of the frequencies and modes that we will be on and publish them here and on “radio_scouting”. I “think” I can get a few more hams to help operate and to answer question {give out free ARRL info, too}.

I hope to have two HF transmitters. One for voice and one for digital {PSK31 and CW}. I also will have voice and APRS on VHF/UHF for demo and talk-in. For APRS, I need to see if there is a local iGate… As I get more information from the Person In Charge, I will pass on the information about what I am doing. It will be nice for the “First State” to get the last state BSA camp and enable WAS Scout Camps. The OA will also be using the camp in the fall of 2012 for an induction weekend, so I expect to be active then too.

I made a K1EL K42 CW Keyboard “box” and I hope to give it a try from MD-05 this weekend. Since it has a reader and Morse is generated with a buffered keyboard, it looks like the kids might like to give it a try – I’ll see… I don’t know what times I will be on, as I am “working”… When I do, I’ll give the BSA freq’s a try. Sideband will be busy with a NA contest.

73, Steve

I've taught Radio MB a couple of times.

The Scouts want to use the "big radio", they preferred a go-box with a mobile instead of the HT.

We checked into a local youth net on a repeater, they liked that.

We ran a mock SAR with two teams and a net control, all Scouts. The two teams were directed where to go. You could do a treasure hunt instead, where the teams collected items from other events at the camporee.

I had them practice ID'ing with their name and my (control op) callsign before going on the air, so "Andy at K6WRU" or "Fred at K6WRU".

PSK31 is familiar to them (looks like chat), and is pretty good for DX. We talked to Tennessee and Ukraine from California on a 3W portable.

One control op per activity is good.

I'd set up some skeds on HF, the Scouts may not have the patience for calling CQ over and over. Send some mail to GB2GP at Gilwell Park. That is a real possibility from Deleware.

Having done many of these, agree that a simple setup that might pass as a GOTA station during Field Day should work.

Have a few things out to catch their eyes. Wire antennas with safety-tape streamers, some visual aids, maybe a DF antenna and a fox. Got Radio Merit Badge booklets?

CW is intesesting to someone who has never seen it, except perhaps in a movie. Hearing voices from far away is interesting. Keyboard stuff like PSK31 is OK too. What I'm saying is not to focus on one slice of ham radio.

Try to get located in a high traffic area, maybe near a road to the dining area. Assume you are on your own as far as power, shelter, table, etc, unless you know otherwise. This sounds like a brand new camp without much in the way of infrastructure.

An assistant would be a good idea, if they are outgoing and kid-friendly.

Good luck, and post a photo or two when it's over!

I have been asked about having a radio demo at the Delaware camporee in May at the new Scout Camp.
This will be strictly a portable “operation” as I don’t expect any buildings will be finished by then.

I am trying to decide what DO I want to do? Your suggestions could be helpful. I will be “giving” out DE-01 SCOTA contacts, the question is what mode(s). I like PSK, but I have seen requests for CW from the Yahoo Group. Maybe I should also ask about bands, too. I may have two transmitters and have the filters for 40M and 20M to operate simultaneously, but is it worth the effort for two transmitters. One transmitter could be used for PSK and the other for voice demo cont! acts.

Having a radio merit badge clinic is key. Communications also works well. Last
year we did an APRS weather balloon launch, and it was a huge hit. The boys
enjoyed tracking on APRS during the car chase and simple car to car.

This is the third year Don Dubon, N6JRL, has organized a Youth DX expedition to Costa Rica. Please go to their website at Youthdx.org to see the details and pictures from previous years.

Jim Storms, AB8YK, is the senior team leader for this year has been in scouts for a long time and a ham for 9 years. He was a staff member of K2BSA in 2010 and has participated in JOTA longer than he's been a ham.

Don Dubon, N6JRL, one of the co-founders, have been on a number of DXpeditions around the world and goes to Costa Rica every year for the CQ World Wide contest in October. Don is also a long time supporter of scouting and youth.

Refer to the "2012 team criteria and application" link on the website for more details on this event.

There are open slots. I know it's open to any youth in the USA and there a chance it might be open to youth in other countries. Contact Don for information.

Hello Edward and everybody else
Some years ago we made an activity for scouts on a Danish national
jamboree.
I think that our activity (as we called OLOTA, an untranslatable Danish
abbrivation) could be used by other and thus be relevant for your book.
Unfortunately all my written material is in Danish, but I'll try to
explain what it was all about.

The general idea was that the scouts should experience simplex com via
hand held radio by talking to other patrols that they did not know.
We set up a number of stations within a short walking distance and all
within radiodistance. Each station was paired with another one and each
pair shared a freq. The patrols went from one station to the next and got
a new assignment at each station and a new patrol as counterpart.

The assignments were:

1 Describe a LEGO figurine to the other patrol and let them make a copy.
The station leader had a drawing as a solution, so that they could see if
they did it correct. We used figurines made of approx 10 standard
8-knob-bricks, all of the same colour, but you can of course vary that.
The other patrol had of course another figurine so that they could both
have a try. This turned out to be the best of the activities. We made
drawings in Blockcad (www.blockcad.net), see attached example.

2 Compass track. Each patrol had a long string with knots and a number of
pegs; the knots gave the distances of the compass track but the direction
(degrees) were given by radio. one patrol had the even directions and the
other the uneven.

3  Recipies. One patrol had a list of food-ingredience and the other a
recipies book. They should then guess what course the ingr. were for.
Quite difficult to figure out a good set of ing. and too easy to guess, we
found.

4 Battleship game. The two patrols played against each other. Other games
such as Chess could also be used. Quite ok activity.

5 Descibe a national flag. The patrols each got a poster with a lot of
national flag (two different posters were used) and a picture of 3-5 flags
that were on the other patrols poster but not on their own. They should
then describe the flags to each other patrol to guess. It is important to
choose flags that are not very well known and that looks like other flags.
Also quite ok, but rather easy. If you want to scale up the level, try
plants and a botany book!

6 Guess a Fairy tale. The patrol gave each other some keywords from the
(in Denmark) well known tales by Hans Christian Andersen. They should then
guess what tale. Again, the patrol were working in pairs.

7 Kims Game. (we did not use this, but kept is as a spare activity) The
patrol should describe how a certain thing looked like (eg. a golf ball)
but not mention anythig about its use.

Radio obstacle course
This activity was not from the Danish camp, but from the world scout
jamboree in Sweden last summer. We had set up an obstacle course with
strings, poles and gates. The scouts worked in pairs, one directing the
other (blindfolded) scout through the track (approx 50m) by hand held
radio. He should carry a cup of water all the way without spilling too
much. It can be made more difficult if the guide is not present but only
can see what is going on via a CCTV monitor.

You are welcome to ask if you need more info on the activities, I can be
reached by e-mail or skype (torkil.bladt)

You might even ask the Scouts to use fldigi or similar acoustically coupled
to a HT to send the lists or instructions between the patrols.  We've done
that with great success.
Also, you might want to load the documents in Danish on a web site and we

Los invito a todos a participar en este GRAN CONCURSO para desde ya empezar con buen pie este magnifico evento!

Concurso de Logo JOTA-JOTI 2012

La Organizaci�n Mundial del Movimiento Scout (OMMS) anuncia el lanzamiento del 'Concurso de Logo JOTA-JOTI 2012'. Este concurso consiste en dise�ar el logotipo de la edici�n 2012 de el Jamboree-On-The-Air - Jamboree-On-The Internet (JOTA-JOTI).

El tema de este a�o es: "�Qu� tan grande es tu mundo?".

Scouts de todo el mundo est�n invitados a enviar sus logos y votar por sus dise�os favoritos en esta p�gina de Facebook. Las bases del concurso est�n disponibles en:http://www.scout.org/es/information_vents/news/concurso_de_logo_jota_joti_2012/reglas_del_concurso.

El logo ganador se convertir� en el logotipo oficial de JOTA-JOTI 2012. Este logo tambi�n ser� utilizado por la Tienda Scout Mundial para dise�ar la tarjeta de identificaci�n oficial que ser� usada por los Scouts que participan en el JOTA 55 y JOTI 16 (20-21 de octubre de 2012) en todo el mundo.

El tema de este a�o fue concebido en el marco del A�o Internacional de las Cooperativas (2012) de las Naciones Unidas (ONU). La idea es alentar a los Scouts a explorar c�mo las acciones peque�as a nivel local podr�an tener un gran impacto a nivel mundial.

A trav�s de este tema, la OMMS invita a todos los Grupos Scouts que participan en JOTA-JOTI 2012, para imaginar, desarrollar, e implementar acciones para medir y promover el impacto del Movimiento Scout en la sociedad.

"�Qu� tan grande es tu mundo?' tambi�n invitar� a los Scouts a considerar ser parte de la iniciativa insignia de la OMMS, los Mensajeros de la Paz (MoP).

Cada Scout puede empezar a hacer una diferencia en su comunidad siendo parte de la Red de MoP.

Por �ltimo, este tema es tambi�n una invitaci�n a los Scouts, para reflexionar sobre c�mo pueden ampliar su propio mundo al interactuar con otras personas, utilizando m�todos modernos de comunicaci�n. El mensaje a los Scouts es, "Dejar que otros amigos Scouts de todo el mundo en su paso por nuestro mundo conozcan nuestros pensamientos, sentimientos, emociones, ideas, propuestas y proyectos. Comparte tus experiencias de vida para ampliar tu mundo ...."

Usted puede participar en el Concurso de Logo JOTA-JOTI 2012 mediante la subida de su dise�o en esta p�gina: http://facebook.com/JOTA.JOTI.2012.Logo.Contest/.

Todo el mundo puede votar por su dise�o favorito en la misma p�gina de Facebook utilizando el "Like" que aparece debajo de la imagen de cada dise�o. Los votos en Facebook ser� considerado (entre otros criterios) por el comit� de selecci�n en el proceso de elecci�n de los ganadores.

La fecha l�mite para la presentaci�n del concurso del logotipo es el 31 de marzo de 2012. La votaci�n en la p�gina de Facebook estar� abierta hasta las 15 de abril 2012.

El ganador ser� anunciado en la Seminario de Internet y Radio Europea del Movimiento Scout (ERSIS) que tendr� lugar en Portugal desde el 28 de abril al 1 de mayo de 2012.

Tras este anuncio, las noticias sobre el logotipo ganador ser� publicadas en la p�gina web de la OMMS y la p�gina de Facebook del Concurso del Logo JOTA-JOTI 2012.

Subject: RADIO SCOUTING IRLP CALLING CHANNEL IMPLEMENTED

kr1zan

Hi everyone,

Thanks to the newly implemented IRLP Topic Channels, Radio Scouting now has a
common meeting point for IRLP contacts, and, in the not too distant future, for
EchoLink contacts.  The announcement below gives some of the details.  We
encourage experimentation with the new facility.  Via ScoutRadio, we'll announce
a planned date and time for a full test of the channel to determine traffic
loading and connection issues.

Even though this is announced as Radio Scouting USA, we hope scouts throughout
the world will take advantage of this new service.  It should prove especially
useful for Jamboree on the Air in October.

73, Frank KR1ZAN


-----------------------------------------------------------


RADIO SCOUTING IRLP CALLING CHANNEL

Radio Scouting and Jamboree on the Air now has a common meeting place for IRLP
(Internet Radio Linking Project) contacts.  Scouts and Scouters may simply
connect an IRLP node to Node 9091, which is a dedicated Topic Channel for Radio
Scouting.  If you're looking for a contact, after connecting make yourself known
by IDing and indicating your interest in a Radio Scouting or JOTA contact.
Remember, "live" repeaters are involved, so please use proper identification
procedures.

If no one is available, it's OK to remain connected.  The next person to connect
will similarly ID and a QSO can be established.  Since this is a single channel,
it's recommended that once contact is made, the two stations mutually agree on
IRLP nodes, disconnect from the Topic Channel and connect to the agreed upon
nodes.  For detailed information on available IRLP repeaters in your area, how
IRLP works and operating guidelines, visit www.irlp.net

A recommended time for calling has initially been established for 1800Z (1100
PDST, 1400 EDST).  This time was selected for weekend activities, such as Radio
Merit Badge events, as well as contacts during Summer Camp.  Another suggested
time is 0100Z (1800 PDST, 2100 EDST).  The evening schedule should accommodate
most scouts and scouters during the evening hours.  The Radio Scouting/JOTA
Topic Channel is available for use 24/7.

The Topics Channel will initially be set up for IRLP only and will soon have
connectivity via EchoLink.

For more information about Topic Channels, see http://www.irlptopics.net/   The
K2BSA Amateur Radio Association sincerely appreciates the resources provided by
Kent Johnson, W7AOR, on the Western Reflector Annex, to Michael Bloom, W7RAT,
for coordinating this Channel, and to the Oregon Internet Radio Group for
implementing the Topic Channels Project.

The N2MO station at InfoAge in Wall Township, NJ was the recipient of approximately 12 Coffee mugs, primarily from the Scout Camps in the area. If you would like them for your collection, and are willing to pick them up, please contact me off-list.

Del-Mar-Va Council will be having a Camporee {they call it a Jamboree} on
the grounds of the first Scout Camp in Delaware on the weekend of May 4th to

I plan on setting up a RADIO midway demo and operate on the BSA frequencies.
My current plan is for two transmitters on 40M and 20M during the day

I really hope you get this fast. I could not inform anyone about our trip, because it was impromptu. we had to be in Madrid , Spain for a program. The program was successful, but our journey has turned sour. we misplaced our wallet and cell phone on our way back to the hotel we lodge in after we went for sight seeing. The wallet contained all the valuables we had. Now, our passport is in custody of the hotel management pending when we make payment.

I am sorry if i am inconveniencing you, but i have only very few people to run to now. i will be indeed very grateful if i can get a loan of 3,000 Euro from you. this will enable me sort our hotel bills and get my sorry self back home. I will really appreciate whatever you can afford in assisting me with. I promise to refund it in full as soon as I return. let me know if you can be of any assistance. Please, let me know soonest. Thanks so much..

Yesterday morning just before 7am
my email account was attacked by a hacker/spammer from Nigeria. The access log
shows that the sod accessed my account 12 times between 7am and 8am. He created
a spam email in the account so that anyone who replied to his first message was
sent further messages in reply telling them where to send money to at a Spanish
address. I have been forwarded copies of those messages. The local police here
in Northern Ireland have been informed of an attempted fraud. As soon as I was
aware of what had happened I contacted the BT Internet security team and my
passwords were changed and the spam email address was deleted from my account.
My address book was also wiped clean (which is a real nuisance). It took me over
8 hours to partially sort out the mess left by this Nigerian hacker. I have no
idea how he hacked my passwords but he is now locked out of my account and I
have a trail of his nefarious actions which may help to catch him red handed.

Being hacked is a very stressful experience and it paints you as being the
perpetrator - which I am not. It also tells you who your friends are. The
telephone hardly stopped ringing all day - some with offers of money which is
nice but I don't need. The worrying thing is that someone might just send the
requested money and they will never see it again.

The moral of the story is - don't give your passwords to anyone - especially not
to the Phishing scams that are commonplace on the Internet at the moment. I have
received numerous requests for me to validate my BT account over the past few
months and they all look genuine enough but NONE OF THEM ARE. They were all
forwarded to abuse@...

Have a nice day

Don't feel bad... I get those emails all the time... The biggest thing to remember is that no reputable company will ever email you asking for you're sensitive information... so when I get then I just delete them... Sorry about the rough time you had.

Good to hear from you Bill. Yes all is well. Apart from losing 8 hours yesterday to this Nigerian GIT I'm coming back down to earth. It took me long enough to get a telephone number for BT Internet Security and when I telephoned the local police to advise them of a scam fraud they were baffled and didn't know what to do - typical! I've seen this happen many times to other people but this is the first time its happened to me. In the past few months I have received dozens of emails pretending to come from BT and all Physhing for my account details by asking me to validate my account. They have all been forwarded to abuse@...

We all need to be especially careful and don't believe everything you read in an email. My telephone has been ringing all day yesterday and I'm still getting calls from friends today asking me am I in Madrid and do I need money - AAARGH

If I could lay my hands on that Nigerian so and so I would castrate him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

David,
I have a suggestion. Contact your equivalent to our US Secret Service . Here in the States they are the authorities who are trying to track down these jerks. They will probably want the email with ALL of the header information. They are pursuing it here as wire fraud crimes. I'm guessing that it might be Scotland Yard or someone like that for the UK. The locals even here don't really know what to do with it unless they are in a major metropolitan area and then they are more concerned with local issues rather than international ones.

Hi Bill

I believe the Police Service of Northern Ireland have an internet fraud department. The UK equivalent of the US Secret Service would be MI5. I'm not sure if they deal with internet fraud or not. I would have no problem providing an email trail with all the headers. I'm afraid I'm a very small fish in a big pond. There are many people who have had their accounts hacked in the same way mine was. I don't know if there are investigations going on or not. I'm sure you are aware that the problem of Nigerian hacking/spamming has been around for several years and we don't seem any closer to getting to the bottom of the problem.

I will really appreciate whatever you can afford in assisting me with. I promise to refund it in full as soon as I return. let me know if you can be of any assistance. Please, let me know soonest. Thanks so much..

David
