W9AH - GOTA Station
During FD2005, the camp used for our activities was shared with several Boy Scout troops who were happy to participate. This young man was working with KC9ERL-Bill to make his first contact which helped make a few bonus points for the club with an under 18 contact. Now is that a smile?
