Ham Radio 360: Scouting-Rick Deweese KJ4WHO

Episode 31: Ham Radio & Scouting

In this episode, we meet Rick DeWeese (KJ4WHO), a Scout Master and Amateur Radio Operator from Upstate South Carolina. Rick leads the “Amateur Radio Troop” and shares with us how he integrates Ham Radio into his Scouting activities.

Many episodes of Fo Time have discussed ways to involve today’s youth in Ham Radio, and in Episode 31, Rick shares his insight and methods on how to make the hobby more appealing to kids.

Rick is also a podcaster, and he and the host of Fo Time had been discussing the idea of collaborating on a show for almost a year before making it happen. Tune in to hear about Rick’s experiences with Ham Radio and Scouting, and how he’s inspiring the next generation of Hams.
