Schenck Forest Radio-O Sept 7 & 8
Join us for an Advanced Classic Radio-O event on Saturday & Sunday September 7 and 8th at Schenck Forest.
This is an Advanced event, so eperiance at a previous Radio-O event (or the cycleing transmitters at the Radio-O classes) is required.
We will have a classic course with 5 transmitters each day. If all goes well and it is forcast to be hot I will try to have the transmitters on at 8am for the early birds. If there are any updates they will be posted here and an email will be sent to the BOK Radio-O mail list.

I’m in the army and trying to prepare for land nav courses. I was wondering if you thought this would help. I am a beginner and looking to become confident with land navigation.
Thank you.
No, this is not your event. It is radio orienteering, which is using radio transmitters to locate the controls. You should come to one of our open orienteering events.
