1999  Boy  Scouts  Jamboree On The Air By  LARG - K4LRG Banshee Reeks - Loudoun County - Virginia October 16, 1999

On October 16, 1999, the Loudoun Amateur Radio Group operated Amateur Radio Station K4LRG at the Boy Scouts of America NCAC Goose Creek Scout District Jamboree Site in the International Jamboree-On-The-Air at Banshee Reeks Park near Leesburg in Loudoun County, Virginia.

K4LRG operated on the HF Bands using a ICOM-730 HF Radio and a Windom Antenna and on the 2-Meter VHF Band using a mobile 50-watt voice radio. Contacts were made with other JOTA stations throughout the United States and South America. 2-Meter Contacts were made with other LARG members operating throughout Loudoun County. About 100 Scouts visited the radio site, talked to other Scouts via K4LRG and learned about Ham Radio and Scouting and how they could earn the Radio Merit Badge. 

K4LRG was operated by Bill - K8SYH, Dennis - KF4TJI, Paul - N4PD, Larry - KG4CGR, Tom - NA4MA, Angela - KG4AVR and Norm - AI2C.  Dennis - KF4TJI also demonstrated his 2-Meter Fox Hunting equipment and many Scouts found the WB3AKD-FOX hidden in the woods.  Norm - AI2C explained how the Boy Scout Radio Merit Badge could be obtained. 

A Special Thank You Goes To Dennis- KF4TJI who helped install the HF Antenna on Friday and a Special Thank You also goes to Larry - KG4CGR for taking these pictures with his new digital camera.
