The 50th JOTA theme:
'AROUND THE WORLD IN 50 HOURS'
The Jamboree On The Air (JOTA) is an annual
event in which about 500,000 Scouts and Guides all over the world make
contacts with each other by means of amateur radio.
This year's JOTA will have a theme; in 50 hours we will travel around
the globe.
Fifty hours? Yes, 50 hours, not just 48.
This golden-jubilee JOTA is 2 hours longer: the 50th JOTA will run from
19 October 22:00 h local time to 21 October 24:00 h local time.
An official start will be given by the World Scout Bureau radio station
in Geneva on 19 October at 21:00 h GMT with a transmission in the 20 and
80 m band and on Echolink.
