4,000 Scouts to experience Ham Radio at Scout AirFest in Illinois

The *Rainbow Council Amateur Radio Committee* will operate a Special Event
Station during *Scout AirFest* on August 8-10, 2014.

With nearly 4,000 registered Scouters expected to attend, Scout AirFest is
one of the largest Scout events in Northern Illinois in this year. The
“camporee� will take place on the grounds of the Lewis University Airport
in Romeoville, Illinois.

The K2BSA Amateur Radio Association has given the Rainbow Council
permission to operate as *K2BSA*. Nearly two dozen ham radio operators will
be ambassadors to one of the most interesting hobbies in the world during
AirFest.

Scouts and Unit Leaders who attend AirFest can participate in the program,
even if they are not licensed operators. The K2BSA operation will feature a
variety of Radio Scouting opportunities.

   - Requirements for the Radio Merit Badge
   - HF Voice and Digital Communication
   - Low Earth Orbiting Satellite Demonstrations
   - Morse Code Demonstrations
   - UHF Talk-In for Out-of-Town Scout Units
   - VHF Camp Net for Rag Chewing

After Taps each night, K2BSA will operate as a traditional Special Event
Station in an attempt to work as many stations on as many bands as
possible. K2BSA will participate in the WAE CW DX Contest and Maryland QSO
Party during the AirFest weekend.
*World Scouting Band Segments*

Several amateur bands have designated frequencies where Scout stations can
meet. K2BSA will operate Phone, CW, and PSK modes during AirFest, giving
Scouts the opportunity to experience several communication modes. K2BSA
also will attempt LEO satellite communication from grid EN51wo.
