New Licenced Member
Congratulations to 10th Greenock & District Scout – Stephanie McCann who last week successfully passed her Foundation Licence Exam. Stephanie is just the 2nd scout to become a licensed Radio Operator. Stephanie was delighted when she heard that she had passed her exam. On the last Club night Stephanie, along with Stefan from 85th, who is the other young Amateur Radio operator in the District, were trying out their new skills on the radios, and Stefan was talking to an operator from Berkshire. Stefan & Stephanie are now looking forward to helping out as Radio Operators at the annual JOTA (Jamboree on the Air) at Everton Lodge, Inverkip over the weekend of 17/18/19 October. JOTA is an annual event within the District and throughout the world where Scouts can talk to other scouts all over the world. At last year’s 50th JOTA over 70 young people from throughout the District visited the station with 40 different countries contacted, with Bob contacting Australia and USA for the first time.
