JOTA contact unsuccessful

An Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact was scheduled for Jamboree on the Air (JOTA), Boy Scouts of America Headquarters in Irving, Texas on Saturday, October 17.

Due to technical difficulties, the contact did not take place.

Contact demonstrations on other satellites were given during the day, however, and there was an amateur radio balloon flight as well. Scouts also took part in a Jamboree on the Internet (JOTI) activity.

Approximately 400 Scouts, parents and officials attended the event.
