 This is an opportunity for Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts (and their 
		parents) to experience Amateur Radio Communications.  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 teach scouts how to run radio networks, and 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.
 The Saginaw Valley Amateur Radio Society is hosted a JOTA station on Sunday, October 16, 2005 at the American Red Cross in Saginaw (MAP) The radio station will be in operation from 8 AM to 8 PM
