John ¨C N7GG having a mascot never entered my mind! However, if we need one the Bucky the Beaver is fine with me.

In the BSA¡¯s Order of the Arrow, Scouts study their local native American culture from a chosen historical era.? For the PNW, our Lodge concentrates on the Salish, 1880-1910.? That period limits the colors to those which could be artificially created from materials in the environment.? Thus, black (from charcoal) and red (from salted bark) dominate.? Only newer PNW artists can create with yellows and blues.
?
As with all their art, they depict the animals and the stories and legends associated with them.? Often, there can be multiples in one image, e.g., a salmon in the belly of a bear.
?
In this image, the N7GG call is in the belly of a beaver.?
?
I was initially thinking of an Orca, but there¡¯s a neighboring DX club that uses the name.? Salmon are too common.? The only bears around here are blacks and their reputation is cowardly.? Ravens are aggressive, but are annoying.? Beavers are vegetarians, of course, but are good to each other and work well in groups, building dams (homes) quickly and efficiently.?
?
It¡¯s all about the story.

?????????????? What is it?? Looks like a hockey player to me.? Whatever it is, it looks foreboding, which is good.
