Ham radio balloons to launch at World Scout Jamboree

ARRL reports World Scout Jamboree takes place in West Virginia July 22 -
August 2 organizers hope to launch amateur radio balloons to travel across
the Atlantic

The ARRL say:

Amateur Radio will play a role in this summer’s 24th World Scout Jamboree
in West Virginia, the first World Jamboree held in North America. The
Jamboree has chosen the theme “Unlock a New World.� Thousands of Scouts and
Scout leaders from some 200 countries are expected to attend. The
Jamboree’s Amateur Radio Exhibit will use the call sign NA1WJ — North
America’s 1st World Jamboree.
It will be on the air during the event, July 22 until August 2, at the
Summit Bechtel Reserve, hosted by Canada, Mexico, and the US. Amateur Radio
testing is expected to begin as early as July 14. Operating frequencies
will be posted in real time via Facebook and Twitter or via an NA1WJ email
group.

“The goals of the Amateur Radio station at the World Scout Jamboree are to
introduce Amateur Radio to Scouts and Scout leaders through hands-on
participation in two-way communication with other stations across the
globe. This activity will also serve as the Amateur Radio voice of the
Jamboree,� the World Scout Jamboree Amateur Radio Exhibit Operational
Vision document states. Other facets of Amateur Radio at the Jamboree will
include Amateur Radio direction finding (ARDF), Amateur Radio satellite
contacts, and a scheduled Amateur Radio on the International Space Station
(ARISS) contact with an ISS crew member.

“We also expect to launch one or two balloons with Amateur Radio payloads
and track them as they cross the Atlantic,� the vision document continues.
