Wonder if there are any other Hams that have managed to take their rigs on
a
Boy Scout campout and got the Scouts interested in Ham Radio, or even
Morse
Code ? We have two Hams in our Troop, and we have thought about doing the
JOTA in October, along with dragging a rig to our indoor/cabin camping
weekends, and something during good weather. Also, what would be a good
rig
to drag out to these camping events....

I've done morse across the lake at our council camp, with those little
super-bright LED keychains. The first-year Scouts were truly impressed.
Actually, I had one group on each end of the lake, and *they* did the code.
:-)

Oddly, I have both HF and 2m rigs, but no license. I have to drag a ham
along to our next cabin outing to help me run an antenna, tune it up, and
start yakking.
