This is a volunteer flight by EOSS in support of the Scouts Jamboree on the Air.
EOSS welcomes all to join in the fun making contacts via the cross band repeater. We do ask that you give priority to the different scouting groups who are attempting contacts through the repeater. We want them to make scout to scout contacts. But if there is a dearth of other scouting groups (as has happened in the past) your distant contact to local scouts in the Colorado area will be appreciated.
