IEEE emeritbadges.org Program
The IEEE emeritbadges.org program has developed hands-on electricity and electronics instructional material based on the Boy Scouts' merit badge requirements. Instructional material for computer education is being developed. Any student, boy or girl can use the program to enhance technical literacy and learn more about viable engineering and other technical career options. The IEEE emeritbadges.org program will be sponsoring the Electricity Merit Badge and the Electronics Merit Badge booth at the 2010 National Scout Jamboree.

K6BSA at 2010 National Scout Jamboree
Amateur Radio Station K6BSA will be operating at the 2010 National Scout Jamboree from the Electricity and Electronics Merit Badge Booths, www.emeritbadges.org, at the Jamboree Merit Badge Midway. During the day the amateur station will be used to show visitors how electricity and electronics are used in radio communications. We hope that many visitors will want to join the ranks of amateur radio operators. Primary equipment being used is the Yaesu VX-8GR and the FT-857D. The K6BSA station will be operated 24/7 by licensed amateur ratio operators. If you are in the area of the Jamboree Merit Badge Midway, give a call on the 2m FM simplex calling frequency of 146.520MHz to K6BSA which we will monitor.
The station will also be equipped with APRS and will have a large screen monitor to display the hams operating at the scout jamboree with APRS. K6BSA also plans on using EchoLink to contact hams around the world.
K6BSA will have plenty of new QSL cards to send to the contacts made during the Jamboree 2010. Contact us to get this special Jamboree edition QSL card.
