Hello all! There are *two* Boy Scout Camporee events tomorrow, Saturday 4/21/2018 -- and we'd love to have you talk to our scouts on the air (or even drop by and help, if you like!)!

If you'd like to talk to our scouts, please monitor the WD6EBY/PVARC repeater network on Saturday, where both groups will be out talking to amateurs (and each other). There's a (large) number of repeaters you can get into WD6EBY's network, however, most likely you'll either be able to get in on Sulphur Mountain (145.200 -127.3, 445.56 -141.3) or Chatsworth Peak (145.240 -127.3, 445.84 -141.3). Full list here: https://www.pvarc.club/repeater-systems/

In addition, we'll be simplex on the ACS Moorpark frequency of 146.535.

We'll also be on some combination of 40m, 20m, and 15m, depending on bands, how busy things are, etc.

*The two sites are:*

Conejo District Camporee –

* lower property of Elegant Gardens Nursery (2046 Tierra Rejada Rd, Moorpark, CA  93021)

- parking is *very* limited. - operating hours approx 9am until 4pm

* Corriganville Park (7001 Smith Rd,Simi Valley CA 93063) - main operating hours 12 to 5pm

Between the two sites, we're expecting to show off amateur radio to between 1500 to 2500 people (scouts and adults). I appreciate all the help from MANY amateurs on these events. (particularly the Corriganville Park site, where AG6AG is heading the charge -- last minute request by that BSA group just a few days ago!!!).

ps. For additional challenge, if you want to find the site the *hard* way, follow the RDF beacon that Doug, WA6RJN, will be operating for a special transmitter hunt competition we are running for scouts at the Conejo District Camporee site in Moorpark ;-) 146.565
