Jamboree On The Air is on 16 and 17 October

The 47th Jamboree On The Air, or ‘JOTA’, takes place on 16 and 17 October.

JOTA is an annual event in which Scouts and Guides from all over the world speak to each other via amateur radio to share experiences and ideas.

The first Jamboree On The Air was held in 1958, since when millions of Scouts have become acquainted with amateur radio through this event. Many special event stations with GB and special club prefixes such as GX are expected to be on the air from the UK, as well as numerous Scouts stations overseas.

Further information about JOTA is available on the Internet.
