Irving Amateur Radio Club Inc. Supports Scouting Up Coming Events Radio Merit Badge Class: The Radio Merit Badge is a great opportunity
to introduce Scouts Many facets of our hobby. The IARC
offers two to three day long Radio Merit Badge courses at the
National Scouting Museum. While not a licensing course,
the RMB provides Scouts with an introduction to many topics
related to Radio such as how do radio waves travel, How call
signs are given out and how to tell where a station is located
by those call signs, some basic electronic concepts and how to
use amateur radio in an emergency situation. A highlight
of the day is giving these Scouts the opportunity to make real
on the air contacts via either HF or V/U communications.
**October 19, 2013 at the Boy Scout Museum in Irving Scouting and Ham radio have a long history.
