Jamboree on the Air

One October weekend every year the Jamboree on the Air (JOTA) takes place. During this event amateur radio operators provide their call signs and equipment so that scouting groups all over the world can try and contact eachother via shortwave radio. Since 20 years or so I take part as a ham radio operator.

This weekend we'll be operating under the call sign PA2RGM/j (my own call sign being PE1NOR), for the weekend located at the scouting group Vaandrig Lengton in the city Zwolle which is the oldest scouting group in the Netherlands (1910). Parallel to the JOTA there is also the JOTI (Jamboree on the Internet).

To see what we are up to have a look at the webcam, or at least to have an impression of what we're up to at the bar :)

On the off-chance one of you is a ham-radio operator as well, drop me an e-mail and we'll plan a chat.
