The Blackswamp Council of the Boy Scouts is hosting the 2024 Klondike Derby this year at Camp Lakota. It will be held on Saturday, January 20th. This is an outdoor event that runs from 8:00am till 2:00pm.
They are asking for Amateur Radio support for this event. The Van Wert club will be coordinating the event and supplying the base radio equipment. What will be needed is for Hams to be at each of the 8 locations on the event route to provide any communications back to the base. No one knows what the weather will be like that day so plan for cold and blustery. We should get a time to be there soon. Also any frequencies that you might have to program into your handheld.
Please let me know if you can help out all or part of the day. I have to get a head count back to the planners pretty quick. Thanks.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
