We’ve just updated the list of registered stations for Jamboree on the Air. Currently showing 126 stations registered as of 18-Sept-14 at 9:30 AM CDT. If you haven’t yet registered your station, please take a moment to do so. We’ll next update the list in late September.
WWROF Webinar
We’ve just concluded the World Wide Radio Operators Foundation’s webinar titled “What is Radio Scouting and What does it mean to me?” You can find the slide deck at http://k2bsa.net/wwrof-webinar/ We will be posting a link to the recording of the webinar as soon as it is available.
If you’re considering providing your own presentation to either a Scouting audience or an amateur radio audience, the WWROF slide deck will be of great use. You can also find other presentations at http://k2bsa.net/radio-scouting-presentations/ with slide decks specifically targeted for each audience.
You can also find a brochure ready for printing that can be of use in presentations or just to hand out as you’re promoting Radio Scouting at http://k2bsa.net/mentoring-brochure/
Thanks to the WWROF for hosting the webinar and all those who attended.

Radio Scouting Webinar
The World Wide Radio Operator’s Foundation has announced a webinar titled “What is Radio Scouting and Why Does it Mean to Me?” It is scheduled for September 17 at 9 PM EDT. You can register at https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/381716898
Jim Wilson, K5ND, will be discussing all things Radio Scouting from JOTA to the Radio Merit Badge to the Amateur Radio Operator Rating Strip. The audience is primarily amateur radio operators within an interest in contesting. So Jim will also talk about how to get on the air and engage in conversations with the Scouts during JOTA weekend.
Plan to attend. The webinar will also be recorded and posted on the WWROF website. We’ll provide a link when it is available.
