CTARC Forthcoming JOTA Event - 16/18 Oct '15

This year, the Cape Town Amateur Radio Centre will set up a JOTA (Jamboree On The Air) station for the Bergvliet area boy scouts and girl guides, to enable them to participate in this international radio amateur event.

The 2015 JOTA runs on 16, 17 & 18 October, and promises to be a very rewarding couple of days for all involved. Noel / ZS1FW is driving this particular initiative,

The plan is to prepare the equipment and antennas on Thursday 15 October, transport it to the Bergvliet venue of Friday 16 and operate on 16, 17 and 18 October. We expect to be inundated with keen scouts and guides who have expressed keen anticipation for our involvment!

We will then dismantle the station and returning the equipment back to the clubhouse on the afternoon of the last day of JOTA.

Radio amateurs who would like to be involved in this very worthwhile event are kindly requested to e-mail Noel via the club secretary [here]

Further details and arrangements will be announced closer to the time.
