Jamboree On The Air 2019 is a Success



Jamboree on the Air!  This event at the Panama City ARC Clubhouse was a great success to those scouts who participated, learning their name in Morse Code, built an antenna, then talked on it, and ate lots of pizza.

Thank you to the hams who provided contacts on HF and the local repeaters.

These scouts made contacts from Arizona to New York.  They heard pile-ups and used Q-codes.

The club thanks Mark Cantrell KD4IMA and his crew for hosting the event.
