I received a request from K9MSG in Illinois, asking me to share this with others. Updates/changes to bands, frequencies and modes will be posted on the K9MSG QRZ page.

Please consider marking your calendar for Tuesday (July 7) to have some fun with Scouts on the Air by sharing a QSO with them.  Amateur radio volunteers in Illinois are introducing ham radio to Scouts ages 11-17 and their leaders & parents.  We will host multiple stations and be on-the-air for one hour (details below).   Would you please share this information with others and perhaps set an alarm to listen and try to give these Scouts a QSO and a smile?  Together, we can make some great memories and perhaps spark further interest in our hobby!

Tuesday 7/7 from 7:20pm to 8:20pm CDT (8:20-9:20pm EDT / 5:20-6:20pm PDT)
