On October 17, 2003 I spent the day with John, AE4GB and Greg KC8AOK at a
Scouting event held at Safety Town in Pasco County. The event took place
coincidentially with JOTA, the Boy Scout Jamboree on the Air. There was a
surprising amount of interest in Amateur Radio from both the Scouts and their
leaders. Here are a few of the pictures I took of the event.
