Jamboree On The Air, JOTA, is a combined, worldwide activity between Guides, Scouts and Amateur Radio groups that takes place during October each year. The Amateur Radio network is used so that Guides and Scouts can talk to each other and exchange information and ideas — a Jamboree on the air.
2022 is the year of the 65th Jamboree On The Air. The first JOTA was held in conjunction with 50th Anniversary of Scouting in 1957, after being devised by scout leader and amateur radio operator Les R Mitchell G3BHK.
A JOTA radio station is one of the activities provided during the Endeavour Boree Regatta, at the Bonna Point Reserve (near Kurnell), with the grateful assistance of The St George Amateur Radio Society Inc (SGARS).
