56th JOTA: October 19-20, 2013Jamboree on the Air provides the
opportunity for millions of Scouts around the world to meet on the air via
Amateur Radio. Get ready for the 56th year of this annual on-the-air event!
What is JOTA?
When Scouts want to meet young people from another country, they usually
think of attending a World Jamboree. But few people realize that each year
more than half a million Scouts and Guides "get together" over the airwaves
for the annual Jamboree-on-the-Air (JOTA). The World Scout Bureau reported
that the 2010 JOTA had just over 700,000 Scout participants from nearly
6,000 amateur radio stations! Modern technology offers Scouts the exciting
opportunity to make friends in other countries without leaving home. JOTA
is an annual event in which Boy and Girl Scouts and Guides from all over
the world speak to each other by means of Amateur (ham) Radio. Scouting
experiences are exchanged and ideas are shared via radio waves. Since 1958
when the first Jamboree-on-the-Air was held, millions of Scouts have met
each other through this event. Many contacts made during JOTA have resulted
in pen pals and links between Scout troops that have lasted many years.
With no restrictions on age or on the number of participants, and at little
or no expense, JOTA allows Scouts to contact each other by ham radio. The
radio stations are operated by licensed amateur radio operators. Many
Scouts and leaders hold licenses and have their own stations, but the
majority participate in JOTA through stations operated by local radio clubs
and individual radio amateurs. Some operators use television or
computer-linked communications.
JOTA FAQ <http://www.arrl.org/jamboree-on-the-air-jota#>
-
When does JOTA happen?- <http://www.arrl.org/jamboree-on-the-air-jota#>
Jamboree-on-the-Air is held the third weekend in October. The official
hours are from Saturday at 00:00 hours local time (right at midnight
Friday) to Sunday 24:00 (midnight Sunday evening). So you’ve got the whole
weekend to make JOTA contacts.
-
How do we take part?+ <http://www.arrl.org/jamboree-on-the-air-jota#>
First, contact a local Amateur Radio operator or club to ask for
assistance. If you need help finding a club in your area check the ARRL
Affiliated Club Search <http://www.arrl.org/Find-a-Club> page. The FCC
License Data Search <http://www.arrl.org/Advanced-Call-Sign-Search> also
lists amateurs and clubs in your area (enter your zip code only). Radio
amateurs are enthusiastic about their hobby and most will be willing to
help you participate in JOTA. The radio operator may suggest that the
Scouts visit his/her station or that the operator bring equipment to your
local campsite. Often, JOTA stations are set up in unusual locations, such
as the top of a mountain, or on a boat.
-
Licensing Regulations that
Apply+<http://www.arrl.org/jamboree-on-the-air-jota#>
Ham radio operators have obtained a radio transmission license by
passing an exam given by national authorities. License conditions vary from
country to country. In some, Scouts may speak over the air: in others,
special permission can be obtained for Scouts to speak over the radio
during JOTA. Please consult the list of Third Party Traffic
Agreements<http://www.arrl.org/third-party-operating-agreements>
.
To review FCC control operator rules, refer to the discussion of control
operator rules <http://www.arrl.org/regulatory-faqs> as it pertains to
Field Day operation.

JOTA Rules+ <http://www.arrl.org/jamboree-on-the-air-jota#>
Stations should call "CQ Jamboree," or answer stations doing so. Any
authorized frequency may be used. It is recommended that stations use the
agreed World Scout Frequencies, listed elsewhere in this document. To avoid
congestion, use close-by frequencies.
JOTA is not a contest. The idea is not to contact as many stations as
possible during the weekend.
All participating groups are asked to send a report of their activities
to their National JOTA Organizer (NJO). The BSA address is
jota scouting.org . You'll find a report
form<http://www.scouting.org/jota/event_report_form.aspx>to download
on the BSA JOTA web pages.
Although the worldwide JOTA is organized in October, Scouts can meet on
the air at other times during the year. Regular Scout nets (a pre-arranged
time and frequency when operators meet) are organized nationally or
regionally. An updated list of these nets can always be found in the latest
*World JOTA Report*, which is published by the World Scout Bureau.

offices, and the station is regularly on the air during Scout nets and JOTA
weekends. Transmitters are on the 10/15/20 meter, 160/80/40 meter and (in
the Geneva area) the 440/2 meter bands. Making contact with HB9S requires
patience, as many stations call at the same time. Please follow

contacts. They speak in as many languages as possible.

his/her station to actually see how it works. Learn about radio waves and
their propagation.
- Learn to say hello in other languages.
- Learn about other countries and prepare questions to ask over the

such as how to fix a blown fuse.
- Learn and practice Morse code. Find tips on learning Morse code and
its history <http://www.arrl.org/learning-morse-code> on our

resources are listed on the JOTA resources page.
- Practice talking into microphones using radio operating procedures
and jargon--see examples.
- Find out about your local area in order to answer questions from
Scouts in other regions.
During the Event:
- The global weather situation. Get a large wall map of the world.
Ask the Scouts with whom you speak to give the local weather. Mark it on
the map for the area where they are located. At the end of the
weekend you
will have a global weather picture.
- Determine the distance between each radio contact that you made and
add them all up. Can you reach 100,000 km (62,000 miles) in one JOTA
weekend?
- Learn to say "Scout" in several different languages. Use it
whenever possible.
- Invite parents and other friends to visit your JOTA station.
- Organize a weekend hike and take portable radio equipment with you.
- Keep a personal logbook. Include names, addresses and other
information for Scouts contacted.
- Set up an information section with maps, atlases and other sources.
When a contact is made, Scouts can find out details about the country or
region.
- Plot contacts made on a world map.
- Invite the media to your station. Ask a newspaper to take photos.
- Organize a fox hunt, where Scouts have to locate a small hidden
transmitter. This can include the use of a map and compass.
After the Event:
- Write to the Scouts contacted. Establish individual (pen pal) or
troop links. Send your badge and other information about your area.
- Send your reports (and photos!) to the ARRL. Maybe you'll see your
picture in our magazine, *QST*!
- Or you can send a report to your NJO. He'll send his national JOTA
report to the World Scout Bureau.
- Start planning for next year!

Please note that the World Scout Frequencies changed* *1 July 2007. The
International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) changed its band plans to create
space for more digital transmissions. Some Scout frequencies are affected
by this. Traditionally, Scout Frequencies were chosen in a segment where
low-power, simple stations are transmitting (QRP). This allows Scouts to
operate such stations from camp sites and still be able to communicate with
others. Some of these frequencies have changed over time. The amateur radio
bands are increasingly busy with competitions. With the Scout frequencies
chosen outside of the contest segments as far as possible, Scout stations
can operate undisturbed.
Consult the BSA JOTA information Web pages for frequencies recommended
for U.S. JOTA
operations<http://www.scouting.org/jota/operators_guides.aspx>.
