The Boy Scouts of America Jamboree on the Air will take place on Saturday, 20 October 2007 at the Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum in Pooler, GA (US 80 at I-95, Exit 102) between 10:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. This is an annual event during which Scouts from all across the globe contact each other via Amateur Radio. For more about Jamboree on the Air, check out the Scouts' website here.
This year, the local Jamboree on the Air will be a Coastal Empire Council event, not just a couple of packs or troops. We as Amateur Radio Operators in the Savannah area need to jump on board and help to make this a success. It will be good for our image, it will help sow the seeds for the future of amateur radio, and it should be a lot of fun.
Local amateur radio operators will be supporting the event at the Eighth Air Force Museum. Volunteers and equipment are needed to make the event a success. If you can volunteer or have radio equipment or batteries that can be used for the event, contact Philip Neidlinger, KA4KOE at ka4koe@arrl.net or Jim Glenn, KD4MJH at james.glenn@savannah.chatham.k12.ga.us.
