US JOTA 'Participation Up'

ARRL reports participation appears to have swelled in the annual
Scouting event this fall

JOTA Coordinator Jim Wilson, K5ND, released the preliminary report
over the weekend. “After sifting through the reports and eliminating a
few duplicates along with reports from countries outside the US, we’ve
compiled the early flash numbers,” Wilson said. “The great news is
that there have been some excellent increases in participation.”

The total number of Scouts taking part was up by 51% to 10,761, while
the visitor total was up by 30% to 6,668. Perhaps the best news was an
increase in the number of stations reporting — up by 28% to 267 this
year, just short of the record 271 in 2013.
