Radio Merit Badge and Jamboree On The Air (JOTA)
October 15- 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM
Camp Tuscazoar
6066 Boy Scout Rd
Dover, OH 44622
It is time again for our annual Merit Badge and Jamboree on the Air Event. We expect to have over 100 eager youth interested in learning more about our great hobby and we need your help to put on an event this large!
Area ham radio operator Dale Lamm, NX8J, will be organizing the classroom Radio Merit Badge portion, and Jeff Voltz, KE8BKP, will be organizing the Jamboree On The Air portion of the event.
This event is so large that we are asking for volunteers from all local Amateur Radio Clubs.
Our intention is to set up stations throughout the camp and expose the Scouts to as big of a variety of the hobby as possible, while making contacts with other Scouts and radio amateurs throughout the world.
We plan to have the following stations set up if possible:
DX HF Station
North American HF Station
DMR Station
UHF/VHF Repeater Station
Digital Mode Station
CW Station
Fox Hunting Activity
Parks On The Air (POTA North Country Trail) Station
A Satellite station
I have volunteers for DMR, Digital already. I am looking for volunteers to head up or assist with each station (or groups of stations) for each activity. We are also open to whatever other concepts you would like to demonstrate, the sky (or ionosphere) is the limit!
This is a great opportunity for you club to show off yourclub's communications truck or trailer to the youth!

MARC is recognized by the ARRL as a Special Service Club (SSC). You may be wondering, “What is an SSC, and how does this affect me?”
What is a Special Service Club?
A club that exists to go above and beyond for their communities and for Amateur Radio is what defines a Special Service Club (SSC). They are the leaders in their Amateur Radio communities who provide active training classes, publicity programs, and actively pursue technical projects and operating activities.
What about MARC?
As an ARRL Special Service Club, we have met our agreement to develop our skills in specified areas during the past two years in accordance with the guidelines in the ARRL SSC Active Club On-Line Primer.
We have worked closely with our Affiliated Club Coordinator throughout the year to develop these skills. We schedule regular, active training classes to help prospective hams study to pass their required FCC license testing. We have a recently improved publicity program to educate the community with regards to our function.
We have club members who actively pursue technical projects and operating activities. We sponsor and participate in important ARRL and hobby related events such as Field Day.
Bottom Line

MARC 2022 Hamfest at MAPS 10/30/22
We are excited to be able to offer 84 vendor tables at this year's event. Please note that tables are confirmed on a first come/first serve basis. We made a decision this year to "hold the line" on costs, so I am pleased to announce tables will remain $15. Admission is still $5.
You will note that tables are marked by row letter and number. Please specify the table you would like to purchase by row & number.
You may pay for your table by emailing a request to:
When you email, please let us know the row and table number you'd like to request. If that table is taken you will be given the closest available table (when a table is no longer available it is removed within a reasonable time and marked "S," but in the event it's already sold you will be assigned closest to your requested spot).
If you wish electricity you will wish to request a spot in Row "A." End-cap spots are available at B15, D15 and F15. The lobby (main) entrance is on the south side of the building- planes are to the north.
