Centenary of Scouting special event station

This weekend, 22nd and 23rd of September, on the foreshore of the city of Newcastle, Australia, we will be celebrating the Centenary of Scouting, by staging a regional camp.

Over three thousand youth members, including Joeys, Cubs, Scouts and Venturers, leaders and parent helpers have already registered. The Activities will also be open to the public.

I have organised a Amateur Radio Station as one of the activities that the attendees will be able to participate in.

The station VK2SOA will be running as a Special Event Station for the Scouting 100 Award and thus will attract 2 points.

Operators on the day will include myself, VK2FGCV (scouting member, 1 point) Karen, VK2FKRN as well as Paul, VK2FPAC.

Contact us via Echolink using the repeater VK2RNC-R on 146.975 MHz Node number 1474 or via 2m radio simplex on 146.500 MHz between 00:00 Zulu and 06:00 Zulu (10:00am to 4:00pm local time) on both Saturda and Sunday.

Looking forward to exchanging 100 award points with you then!
