ARLA/CLUSTER: Notícias do 60.º JOTA 2017 que vai decorrer a 21 e 22 de Outubro

JOTA news

The weekend 21st to 22nd October will be the 60th year that guides and
scouts will have participated in *Jamboree On The Air*, using the magic of
amateur radio.

The WIA's Paul VK2GX says:
You must admit that amateur radio has seen many changes, most obvious being
the overwhelming uptake in the use of digital modes, over traditional
analogue modes, especially during contest.

Are you planning to setup a JOTA radio station this year, please give some
consideration to utilizing digital modes to enhance the on air experience
of our youth member’s.

EchoLink is great way to connect with other JOTA stations, either locally
or in over 150 countries worldwide, either using a local repeater which
supports an EchoLink or IRLP gateway or by setting up your own EchoLink
gateway.

An EchoLink gateway is easy to setup and allows guides and scouts to use a
conventional VHF or UHF transceiver to make contact with other JOTA
stations virtually anywhere. All you need is a basic FM transceiver, a
basic computer running Windows XP or later, a simple interface between the
computer and transceiver, and a basic internet connection.

DStar is another network that can provide connections locally or worldwide,
again either using a local DStar repeater or by setting up your own DStar
gateway. Both an international and VK conference reflector is available.

The DMR MARC network is another great digital network to consider with many
repeaters located around Australia. The VK MARC group has dedicated state
based talk groups set aside for JOTA operations.

I would encourage everyone to make the 60th JOTA a year to remember for
guides and scouts around Australia. If you would like more information
about the digital modes I have mentioned or about becoming involved in
JOTA, please visit my web site www.jota.sgars.org.

73 until next time from *Paul VK2GX*
