Radio In The Park / Scouts – JOTA

Radio In The Park / Jamboree-On-The-Air

Our usual Radio in the Park in October will also include Scouts coming to get on the air! We expect to have several Scouts from multiple troops coming to make contact with other stations including other JOTA Stations with the help of a GOTAham radio operator.

Jamboree-On-The-Air or JOTA is Scouting’s largest annual event. JOTA uses amateur radio to link Scouts around the world. At the park they will need to make and log some contacts to get credit towards earning the Radio Merit Badge. We are planing to have several stations set up to accommodate the Scouts.

As always, all interested parties are welcomed, no need to be licensed, or a club member, we look forward to sharing the hobby with anyone interested and welcome any/all questions!  

Come to help the Scouts or just enjoy the day in the company of other Hams! You may want to bring a chair and some water. Some people may bring food or snacks. We encourage you to bring and set up your radios and antennas!  

Larkin Park, Claremont, CA, 660 N Mountain Ave, Claremont, CA 91711. 

Larkin Park has shade trees and a few tables. If you are bringing a radio you may want to bring a table. We meet near the Northeast section of the park near 7th street.  

As usual remember to listen to the WG6OTA repeater before or on the way to the park, just in case there is a change in plans. See you on the Air!
