Broadcast - 13 Oct 2024
This is your final reminder, well for this year at least. Now is the time to sign up and assist our motivated volunteers in helping to ignite the spark of interest for radio and electronics, in the younger generation!
“JOTA is coming to NTARC.
The station at Rocherlea is planned to be operational for Scouts and Guides from noon on Saturday 19th of October and 10 am on the next day. Should have an hf station as well as vhf and uhf into repeaters on Mt Arthur and Mt Duncan. Echolink and DMR should also be on air. Some morse code activities planned as well as Skype and electronic kits. JOTI internet chat equipment will be staffed by Rovers with possible help from Venturer unit as per last year. Fox hunting should also be available.
Setup planned for Friday arvo 18th and Saturday morning. Help from any members or other local amateurs with setup or operation over the weekend will be appreciated.
We have heard that Paton Park on North Coast will again be operational.
Please register your interest with Peter VK7KPC at club morning tea or via phone on 0408 805 086 or to any committee members.”
Thanks Peter, this event is seriously close! ..... So check your calendars and see if you are available for any period of time over the two days, any assistance would be very much appreciated. Even just to answer a CQ JOTA would be fabulous and may even help towards delaying the extinction of amateur radio as we know it!
