May be because it was early morning, I could not hear any scouts and guides from that station. Last year AU2JOTA\/VU3YEG was operating a JOTA station on VU2MJJ VHF repeater. It was a JOTA station for Rovers from Thrissur. A few days later I received a special QSL validation card as well. Jamboree on the Air (JOTA) is an annual Scouting event that connects Scouts around the world with the use of amateur radio. The event is held on the third full weekend of October each year, together with Jamboree on the Internet (JOTI). More details can be found on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jotajoti.info\/\">JOTA-JOTI website<\/a>. As per the website, JOTA-JOTI 2024 is from 18th to 20th October 2024.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qrz.com\/db\/A43JOTA\">A43JOTA<\/a> special event station from Oman was operating on 28.400 MHz today evening. We had VU3SIO operating from a school at Kozhikode and VU3YEG operating from Thrissur. VU3KUD had organized JOTA at Kannur. It was a nice time listening to scouts and guides communicating with each other over ham radio for JOTA. Let us hope that many of them will be interested in ham radio and become amateur radio operators in the near future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today morning VU2JGA came back to my CQ call on 7065 kHz just after 7 am and told me that he is operating a JOTA station from Pune.
