WA5BSA is the Club Call sign for Troop 116 at Tinker AFB Oklahoma.   

Our Troops goal is to teach good communications skills to our scouts.  Using Amateur Radio, we have shown the boys that they are all citizens of the world and as scouts, act as ambassadors for troop 116, Oklahoma, and The United States of America.

Our Licensed operators play an active role in the community both in and out of the Boy Scouts. We have operated Jamboree on the Air (JOTA) stations for the past three years.  In 2001, some of our adult leaders taught Radio Merit Badge classes at Slippery Falls Scout Ranch near Tishomingo, Oklahoma. Our newest licensee, Chris, KD5QBS who is 15 and a Second Class Scout, has become a Net Control Operator for the Central Oklahoma Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES).
