Boy Scouts Jamboree On The Air (JOTA) 2024… is COMING!
Saturday – Oct 19

The Clock is Ticking…
In just about 1 month, you will have the opportunity to introduce kids to Amateur Radio, and help build a DREAM.
This is a great Public Service Event (PSE)
It also is a fun way to “Go Portable”, and field test your gear.
WE NEED YOU!
YOU Make it Happen!
Status (9/13/24):
– I have confirmed requests for JOTA Activity Stations at TWO Boy Scout Camps (Greenwich and Goshen).
and
– I am waiting to hear back to hear back about two additional camps (Redding and New Hartford).
SHARE THE MAGIC
Give the Scouts the opportunity to have conversations On-The-Air.
We NEED YOU… and your equipment.
I am looking to form Teams of 4-6 hams to go to each camp, run a JOTA “Activity Station”, and provide:
– HF radios
– VHF/UHF Mobile Radios
– Appropriate antennas and support gear
NOTE: AC Power is not always available.
