ARLA/CLUSTER: Irlanda quer aumentar o numero de clubes e associações participantes no JOTA

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

JOTA in Ireland

The Scout Jamboree on the Air, JOTA, takes place next month on the
weekend of 15th and 16th October.

Scouting Ireland and IRTS are making a special effort to increase
activity and a number of radio clubs and individual operators have
already indicated their intention to take part.

Activity can be for the whole weekend, just one day or even a few
hours. This is a really worthwhile activity for both Scouting and
Amateur Radio and will help promote the hobby particularly amongst
teenagers and young adults.

If you can help out either by hosting some scouts at your station or
giving a hand at the local club station please contact Paul EI2CA QTHR
or mobile 087 2523908. There is a particularly active and enthusiastic
scout group in Ashbourne County Meath who want to team up with a club
or individual operators. They are well resourced and have a premises
in the town complete with a mobile antenna tower. Let us know if you
can help.
