RADIO DEMONSTRATION:
  The Kewaunee Lighthouse ,where we activated for National Lighthouse Day, is having an open house  on the weekend of October 6-8.. There is an opportunity to demonstrate Ham Radio during their open house. This would be showing how radio played an important part for ships finding the lighthouse. As well as what it is  today..  .. If interested, contact Dave, N8KQS.. 

STEMpede:   
   This Scouting event is held at Bear Paw Scout Camp near Mountain. We usually set up our EComm Trailer, string up an antenna and provide the needed means of radio communications for those working on  their Radio Merit Badge.. also tweaks  the interest of those stopping by… Scouts as well as their parents.   A one day event for us this year. This means an early start to set everything up.. 

JOTA:                                                                                  
   At the next Club meeting, the question “Will we want to participate in the Scout Jamboree  On The Air this year?” … This event is when the Scouts have an opportunity to try to contact other Scouts from around the world via Radio.. We just provide the means and mentoring  to do that. More on this at the meeting…
