Subject: W1BSA ON USS SALEM FOR JOTA 10/17/98

HELLO ALL,

JUST A BIT OF AN UPDATE ON THE JAMBOREE-ON-THE-AIR FOR THIS UPCOMING
SATURDAY - 10/17/98.

WE HAD A PIECE PUBLISHED IN THIS WEEKS ARRL LETTER FOR PUBLICITY.  THERE
WAS ALSO A PIECE IN TODAY(MONDAY)'S PATRIOT LEDGER(CITY EDITION)  ON PG 14.
I'VE ALREADY STARTED GETTING PHONE CALLS LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL INFO.

WE STILL NEED A FIRM COMMITMENT FROM MORE OPERATORS TO ASSIST THE SCOUTS
DURING THE DAY. RICK-KB1CHV WAS HOPEFUL ON OPENING UP ADDITIONAL RADIO ROOMS.

HOPEFULLY ,WE WILL HAVE TWO HF STATIONS AND ONE VHF STATION RUNNING IN
RADIO FIVE.WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT WE MAY HAVE SOME HANDOUTS FROM THE LEAGUE.IF
ANY OF YOU COULD BRING ANY OLD ISSUES OF QST,CQ,ETC ALONG,WE CAN ALSO LET
THE SCOUTS TAKE THEM.  I WILL BE GOING TO BREAKFAST @ BICKFORD'S IN HANOVER
THIS SATURDAY @ 7 AM. IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT TO THE SHIP, BUT HAVE MAGAZINES
THEN PLEASE
BRING THEM THERE.

    I PLAN TO HEAD DIRECTLY OVER TO THE SHIP AFTER BREAKFAST AND WILL STAY
THERE UNTIL 6 PM.

    WE HAVE 60 CUB SCOUTS SPENDING OVERNITE ABOARD AND THEY WILL BE SENDING
THEM IN SMALL GROUPS FOR 1/2 HOUR VISITS TO THE RADIO ROOM. THAT GROUP WILL
BE WITH US FROM 3 - 6 PM.WE STILL HAVE ROOM FOR ADDITIONAL SCOUTS FROM 10
AM - 3 PM.  ONCE AGAIN;IF GROUPS OF SCOUTS ARE INTERESTED IN HAVING A TOUR
OF THE SALEM,TOO,THE PRICE FOR GROUPS OF 7 OR MORE IS $ 3 EACH. THERE IS NO
CHARGE IF THEY ARE JUST COMING TO THE RADIO ROOM ,BUT THE TOURS ARE VERY
WORTHWHILE!

HOPEFULLY ,WE WILL GET GOOD SUPPORT FROM THE LOCAL HAM COMMUNITY.  THIS IS
A GREAT WAY TO INTRODUCE YOUNGSTERS TO OUR HOBBY! IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T
NOTICED IT; THE AVERAGE AGE OF AMERICAN HAMS IS NOW APPROACHING 50 YRS OLD!!!
