Please join members of the Arlington Amateur Radio Club (AARC), the 
Alexandria Radio Club (ARC), and the Pentagon Amateur Radio Club 
(PARC) for the annual Boy Scouts of America (BSA) Jamboree on the Air 
(JOTA) scouting / amateur radio operating event.

This radio operating event is the largest Scouting event in the world 
and is held annually the third full weekend in October to mentor 
Scouts of all ages in the art and skill of amateur radio.

Saturday October 19, 2024

8:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Lady Bird Johnson Park / Columbia Island Marina
Southbound George Washington Parkway
Washington, DC 20037

Lady Bird Johnson Park / Columbia Island Marina is on an island in 
the Potomac River near the Pentagon.
While it is part of the District of Columbia, it is located on the 
Virginia side of the river and can only be reached from the 
southbound lane of the George Washington Memorial Parkway.

We will be conducting both voice and digital amateur radio operations 
from picnic tables set up on the water's edge under the shade trees - 
bring a sack lunch and your lawn chair.

A radio merit badge session covering the basics of radio technology 
will begin at 12:30 PM to assist Scouts with radio merit badge requirements.

Free amateur radio exams for Technician class, General class, and 
Amateur Extra class available throughout the day.

Free parking, public restrooms, and a full service restaurant are 
located at Columbia Island Marina.

Talk-in on the W4WVP repeater  145.470 MHz - , PL 107.2 Hz
