2016 Jamboree On The Air
Jamboree-on-the-Air, or JOTA, is the largest Scouting event in the world. It is held annually the third full weekend in October. JOTA uses amateur radio to link Scouts and hams around the world, around the nation, and in your own community. This jamboree requires no travel, other than to a nearby amateur radio operator’s ham shack. Many times you can find the hams will come to you by setting up a station at your Scout camporee, at the park down the block, or perhaps at a ham shack already set up at your council’s camp.
Texas Transportation Museum is Sponsoring a station/venue and San Antonio Radio Club will provide expertise and station equipment.
After participating in JOTA Scouts are encouraged to visit all of the museum displays at No Charge
