Bharath M. PalavalliTaking part in my first #JOTAJOTI tomorrow, keen to now how the Scouts take to #amateurradio. There seem to be a lot of Scout clubs that are active around here, would be nice to try and get them to make some DX QSOs, and mine while I’m at it.
Had a wonderful experience at #JOTAJOTI over the weekend, possibly the quickest way to learn for a someone new to the world of #amateurradio to learn things. I've written up about it at https://ham.bharathpalavalli.com/posts/20241020175849-jotajoti_2024_experience_log/.
My experience at JOTA-JOTI 2024
Figure 1: My first HAM memorabilia In the third full weekend of October each year, Scouts organise a Jamboree on the Air together with a Jamboree on the Internet (JOTA-JOTI) which aims to connect scouts all over the world using amateur radio. I heard about the jamboree at the meeting of the local amateur radio club, Bangalore Amateur Radio Club (BARC) on 13th October, 2024. They meet on second Sunday of every month at The Bharat Scouts and Guides Head Quarters in Bangalore. I was curious about the experience of setting up a station in the field and thought it could be a learning experience for me.
