I spent some time in front of television cameras at Dayton. Here’s the link to the interview conducted by Gary, KN4AQ from Ham Radio NOW on Radio Scouting. Select Part 1 — Friday of Episode 12C Hamvention Tour at the 2012 Dayton Hamvention The interview with me and Ray Novak, N9JA, from Icom starts at 17:06 and runs for the next 17 minutes. We really do cover all that’s going on with Radio Scouting. They also have some fun with my various Scouting titles. Check it out.

This is yet another major step forward in the advancement of Radio Scouting.
Morse Code Interpreter Strip
Today the Boy Scouts of America introduced a Morse Code Interpreter Strip for wear on youth and adult uniforms to designate those who are proficient in Morse Code. It denotes their availability for emergency communications and other types of supporting communication for Scouting and the community.
The patch design spells out the word M-O-R-S-E in Morse Code.
