The amateur radio station HB9S of the World Scout Bureau in Geneva will be active on all short-wave and VHF bands during the full JOTA weekend. For the 50th JOTA, however, the call sign will be the unique HB 50 S.

Additionally, HB50S will use the Echolink network to connect to distant radio stations. With a bit of luck, you may be able to make a contact using your local repeater station and just a portable radio.

At HB50S, you can speak directly with the World Scout Bureau staff. The station is run by an international team of Scout radio operators.

You may send requests for pre-arranged contacts (skeds) in advance to the station manager by email: margoty  sunrise.ch. Please note the propagation predictions when selecting sked times.

Making a contact with HB50S may sometimes take some patience. Usually many stations are calling at the same time. The operators will do their very best to make contact with Scout stations world-wide and speak to Scouts in as many languages as possible.

Best Regards from World Scout Bureau staff.
