School Club Round Up

By Lew Malchick, N2RQ

"School Club Roundup (SCR) is sponsored by the Council for the Advancement of Amateur Radio in the New York City Schools (CAAR/NYCS), the ARRL and its Hudson Division Education Task Force to foster contacts with and among school radio clubs.

The SCR is a great way to get young operators on the air. Very often a new operator will be intimidated by the fear of not knowing what to say to the stranger on the other side of the radio. The exchange info helps to overcome this fear in a low pressure contest format. Operators are encouraged to take some time to chat beyond the contest exchange."
