J.O.T.A. (Jamboree On The Air) 
October 21, 2000

JOTA is an annual event that combines Scouting and Amateur Radio.  During the third weekend of each October, thousands of Scout groups around the globe participate in this event.  Licensed Amateur Radio operators volunteer to either set up a radio station at a special site, or invite local Scouts to their home stations.

This event introduces the wonderful world wide hobby of Amateur Radio (Ham radio) to the scouts.  Here in the United States, all amateur radio operators are licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
A testing procedure is in place to earn your license.

The hobby is one that offers many avenues to explore.  From local clear FM communications, to world wide HF bands, to the combination of the personal computer and radios.  There is always a new facet to explore.

More information on ham radio is available from the American Radio Relay League ARRL.

This past October 21, 2000, the Connecticut Radio Society, W1CRS participated in JOTA with
Cub Scout Pack 28 in Shelton, CT.
