Paul N2PJ is heading up club support for our local Occoquan Boy Scout 
troop for Jamboree On The Air as part of their Camporee weekend at the 
Boy Scout camp located at Rock Enon Springs near Gore Va on Saturday 
October 17th from 10AM - 5:30 PM. It looks like Paul has enough 
operators committed (although more are welcome) to support the on-site 
remote stations. Contact Paul directly if you are interested in 
supporting the effort or want more information. The different positions 
will be operating under the 1x1 call sign of K4J and most likely will be 
on 20/40 meter phone (although other bands/modes will be in use as well).

This is where anyone at home on Saturday could help out. The focus of 
the effort at the camp will be to teach basic radio operations and walk 
each scout through establishing contact using the radio. Anyone that 
would like to help support the JOTA effort can operate from home and 
respond to the repeated "CQ Jamboree" and "CQ JOTA" calls from the 
scouts. It is really helpful to have some folks that respond to and 
engage the scouts with a few questions about their scouting activities. 
They really light up with interest once the radio turns from a staticky 
box into a way to really communicate. We all have the opportunity here 
to help some young people develop an interest in learning the craft and 
getting their ham license. Just a few people willing to sit through an 
hour or two rag chewing a bit with the scouts makes a big difference. If 
you can commit to a band/mode/time of operation, please let Paul know 
and he can coordinate the contacts.

stations should be found:

More information is available 
at http://www.arrl.org/jamboree-on-the-air-jota 
and http://www.scouting.org/JOTA.aspx. If you get on the air and can't 
locate K4H, help out another station calling "CQ JOTA" and you can be 
confident that you're helping to start a few more people on the path to 
becoming an amateur radio operator.

Feel free to forward this to other hams you know.
