[HiDARG-MEMBERS] Webelos Woods and Jamboree on the Air 2016

[Jeff Moore]

Why don't we plan on activating the SCMC Hospital station for the JOTA
event.   We could even extend an invitation to the scout groups to attend,
participate, and I bet we could get the Air Life contingent to provide some
tours assuming they aren't active at that point.

It's a thought, we wouldn't have to set up the tent and drag our radios out
to it, the hospital station would be ideal for the task other than the lack
of room up there.
