The boys were given a brief introduction to ham radio and then explained to passers-by what was happening in the booth. We've run HF and packet for the scouts. The most interesting application was two years ago when the booth consisted of one person and a TV monitor as our scouts roamed the crowd with ATV in tow interviewing other scouts and parents and 'broadcasting' back to our booth. The club has recently begun using email to update club members on pending activities and events. We have published a quarterly newsletter for a number of years and provide it electronically for our members as well as hard copy for those not yet net savvy.
Past issues are available on the web also.
In the past we have had a couple of blind members and the newsletter was transcribed to tape by our editor. The Bullitt ARS is a diverse group of guys and gals. Our ages run from 20 something to 70 something. Our interests cover most all aspects of the amateur radio hobby. Bob Myers KG4ERU, our webmaster, provides fresh and current data with zeal and vigor.
