This is our current schedule. I have not received any updates. Pi will be there on this Saturday. Can I get anyone to help us with Radio Room 5? Does anyone want to do the Morse Code Room?
I have not heard of plans for Memorial Day, yet. Please be prepared to come operate the radio room for the Veterans.
Maura always calls me asking for radio operators. She has told me that we put together a good program and the ship needs us.
Additional news regarding the scouting program is the apparent installation of a computer to the PA system to provide announcements. The class whistle is prompt. Do not expect any delay and manage your time very well while giving demonstrations or morse code instruction.
For those who have an interest in emergency preparedness the CERT instructor has successfully introduced many scouts and their parents to the CERT program. They have been a good part of the scouting program and show up every week.
We had a successful day with the Morse Code instruction, yesterday. Jack W1JAW led the class and got many scouts tapping away on their practice oscillators.
I have reviewed Radio Shack’s website. They no longer list the one piece code practice oscillator.
One of the only choices to recommend to scouts is to get the MFJ through HRO at $34.95. I remember seeing a sale at Radio Shack for less than $20.
