Scouts all
over the world will be operating radios this weekend. At the Red
Cross in Saginaw, radios will be operated on both shortwave
frequencies for world wide communications, and vhf/uhf frequencies for
local communications. Scouts will be allowed to operate the radios
under the guidance of FCC licensed amateur radio operators. We
will also give them the
chance to try out Morse code. Information about how they can earn their own amateur
radio license will be available. For more information, please contact the SVARA club
president, Keith DeLong.
