On Wednesday October 13th, VE7TBN and VE7MWH gave a presentation to the Scouts on amateur radio at Camp Byng to prepare them for JOTA.
</p>
<p>
On October 15th 2022, SCARCS hosted the 6th Robert's Creek Scouts for Jamboree on the Air at VE7RBE's QTH. SCARCS members arrived at 09:30 and began launching ropes up trees to erect the club's 20/40m dipole. VE7TBN brought the portable <abbr title="High Frequency">HF</abbr> station from the <abbr title="Sunshine Coast Regional District">SCRD</abbr> to use on phone. Packet was also tested on the radio.
</p>
<p>
VE7RBE setup an FT8 station with his IC-7300 and an inverted L antenna.
</p>
<p>
Club members in attendance were: VE7TBN, VE7MWH, VA7FI, VA7JJR, VE7TBP, VE7XNC, VE7QCB, VA7ILO, VA7HMB, VE7ETC and VE7RBE.
</p>

Six Scouts attended and spent time on both phone and FT8. The Scouts talked to Scouts in California and New York.
