This coming weekend – 17th to 19th October 2024 – Hinckley ARES are helping out with a couple of our local scout groups with their Jamboree On The Air (JOTA) and Jamboree On The Internet (JOTI) weekend. This is where the beavers, cubs, and scouts get chance to gain their communication badge while learning about amateur radio. We have planned some fun activities for them and we have a Special Event Station (SES) call which we will be using to encourage the attendees to speak with other JOTA stations, some from around the world and not just in the UK.
We will also be using the call outside the event to test the antennas and equipment before letting folks loose. So look out for GB2HBB – Hinckley, Bosworth, Burbage scouts – and please do give us a call. A QSL card will be available via our QSL manager Charles (M0OXO) on his OQRS system and we will show the card when we have the proof of design.
