This afternoon the MOU between the ARRL and the Boy Scouts of America was signed by Robert Mazzuca, Chief Scout Executive, and me. It was a different sort of MOU signing, in that Bob was at Scout HQ in Irving, Texas, and I was here at my home. The proceeding was recorded on audio (over the phone) and video (using web cams), and the BSA techs will make it into something that can be posted on the web. Voice-over narration and additional video was already recorded at BSA.

On our end, most of the credit is due to Allen Pitts, who developed our part of the script and negotiated the overall concept of the piece with the BSA. The goal was to ensure that Amateur Radio is portrayed the way we want it shown.

I am about to send my video clip to the Boy Scouts on a flash drive. No, I have not had the nerve to look at it. It will prove once and for all that I have no future in television, I suspect. Maybe the BSA techs can do the video equivalent of Photoshop and help me out a little.
