| Scouts all 
		over the world will be operating radios this weekend.  At the Red 
		Cross in Saginaw,  radios will be operated on both shortwave 
		frequencies for world wide communications, and vhf/uhf frequencies for 
		local communications.  Scouts will be allowed to operate the radios 
		under the guidance of FCC licensed amateur radio operators.  We 
		will also give them the 
		chance to try out Morse code.  Information about how they can earn their own amateur 
		radio license will be available.  For more information, please contact the SVARA club 
		president, Keith DeLong.
