JOTA 2015 was much better advertised in Houston than previous years. The Sam Houston Area Council included information their web page plus two of the districts allowed presentations about Amateur Radio at their monthly leaders’ round table meetings.   Oak Forest Amateur Radio Club (OFARC) set up stations at two locations .... the Oak Forest Masonic Lodge and at the Cockrell Scout Center (Houston HQ for scouts).  Two operators manned each location.   One scout visited at the lodge, but 32 visited the HQ station.   Our HQ station was set up in emergency style to show the boys how we could work .... HF was powered by a generator, and the UHF radio was operating on a battery supported by a 30W solar panel. Richard (KF5RSA) helped me install a 40M dipole and Mike (KD5MVL) did a major job by raising an 80M dipole in two very tall trees.  The 40M dipole was fed with home made ladder-line (using popsicle sticks) and it tuned up nicely on 20M and 40M.  Unfortunately HQ was bothered by a lot of static on HF, so all contacts were on UHF repeater at 146.94 Mhz. Each of the scouts spoke with 2-5 other operators around the Houston area.  All of the operators were polite, friendly, and patient.   It was gratifying to listen to the conversations as each licensed operator encouraged a boy or girl to relax and just enjoy the contact.  One of the licensed operators was a 12 year old scout celebrating his birthday on teh aire (becoming 13) and another was an eagle scout operating from a hospital EMCOM room.   In all, there were just over 100 contacts made by the 32 scouts at HQ. Cub Scouts came from 4 Packs (24 boys & 3 girls).  All the Boy scouts were from a single Troop (5 boys that completed their Radio Merit Badge).  One of the boys is profoundly deaf and used and interpreter to communicate over the radio!!!   While I monitored the radio, Mike explained Amateur radio, demonstrated the morse code keys, and let the scouts poke around in an old (non functional) 2M rig that was laying open for that purpose.   The lodge was operated by Terry (W5PCJ) and Richard (KF5RSA) with assistance from other club members.   There was also a class on how to be a Boy Scout Merit Badge Counselor.
