When Scouts want to meet young people from another country, they 
usually think of attending a quadrennial World Jamboree. But each 
year, more than 400,000 Scouts and Guides "get together" over the 
airwaves for the annual Jamboree-on-the-Air (JOTA). This year, JOTA 
celebrates its 52nd anniversary. JOTA follows a 48 hour schedule 
beginning at 0000 local time on Saturday, October 17, continuing 
through 2400 local time on Sunday, October 18. Click
