The Council will be making an amateur radio committee which will allow us to obtain a ham radio call sign for the Council that we can then use for Jamboree on the Air, camporees or special events at our two camps (and ultimately offer Radio merit badge at camp). The FCC requires that the committee have 4 licensed ham radio operators. I'm one (kc2zzw), so I need 3 more so we can make the application. Later this year, after we've secured the call sign, we can plan some activities. If you are a licensed amateur radio operator and are interested in participating in the committee (if even for the rubber stamp to get the Council call), send an email to Bob Confer at bobconfer@juno.com
