Jamboree on the Air 2006

The 2006 Jamboree on the Air is taking place over the weekend of 21 and 22 October.

Jamboree on the Air – or JOTA as it is more commonly called – is a worldwide event during which radio amateurs help thousands of Scouts, Guides and Brownies to get on the air.

The youngsters are given the chance to chat with fellow Scouts, Guides and Brownies throughout the world thanks to the wonders of amateur radio. They are also taught about Morse code and encouraged to send messages using this mode.

A list of UK Jamboree on the Air stations taking part in the event has been published on the Radio Scouting UK website
