[K4RY] K4RY: Merit Badge University: Radio Merit Badge

[Carey L. Huff]

John et. al., 

 

I've done this a few times both on campus and off.  It really was a lot of
fun.  I would encourage anyone who was free to help out.  It is just one
day, and you will be enriching the lives of a lot of youngsters.  

 

One year we tore open telephones (that I got out of the dumpster over at
surplus) to identify components.  The kids loved it and gained a lot of
knowledge from it as well.

AUARC members:   

 

AUARC member Josh Smith, KI4PPW, has requested assistance for a part of one
day in teaching / mentoring the Boy Scout "Radio" merit badge for interested
Boy Scouts.   

 

The radio merit badge will be one of several offered at the "Merit Badge
University" offered on campus on Saturday, 5 March 2011.  Auburn
University's Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity is sponsoring the overall
event. 

 

AUARC's members are ideally suited to explain the intricacies of radio to
young people who are interested in this technology.  These certainly could
be the next wave of ECE's Wireless Engineering program.

 

If you have the time and can help Josh on that Saturday, please get in touch
with him at: JPS0003 at tigermail.auburn.edu.  This would be a great way for
AUARC members to encourage the next generation of hams at Auburn.
