GB100J at 21st World Scout Jamboree in ChelmsfordFrom radio-scouting news http://www.scout.org/jota 24 July - 8 August: both the 21st World Scout Jamboree in Chelmsford in the United Kingdom and Brownsea Island will be on the air with their own, fully equipped amateur radio stations. Both will offer a radio programme to the participating Scouts. The stations are operated by an international team of Scout radio amateurs. The staff at GB100J offer a full radio-scouting set of activities to all Jamboree participants. The station is located at the Central Plaza of the camp site and will be active on all HF bands. Arrangements are being made for a contact with the International Space Station on one of its passes over the Jamboree. No doubt, one of the highlights will be the official JOTA birthday party on the afternoon of 4 August; to commemorate that the JOTA idea was born exactly 50 years ago, at the World Jamboree in Sutton Coldfield in 1957. All Scout radio amateurs at the Jamboree site are invited for the birthday cake !
