AO-51 configuration to support
Scouting JOTA

AMSAT-NA is supporting the 52nd Jamboree on the Air (JOTA) Scouting event by dedicating AO-51 operation to the event.

For October 17th and 18th, the AO-51 QRP repeater will be allocated for JOTA use. All users are requested to give way to JOTA stations or QSO's with JOTA stations.

The frequencies used for this weekend will be 145.880 FM uplink, and 435.150 FM downlink, no PL tone required.
The mode change should occur at ~00:00 UTC on the 17th (Friday evening in the US) and run for approximately 48 hours.

AMSAT wishes the Scouts good luck operating via the AO-51 satellite for the event.

Reports of your JOTA operations should be sent to the AMSAT-BB or directly to ko4ma@amsat. org.

Photo files up to 5 Mb total are also welcome for possible inclusion in an upcoming AMSAT Journal article.
