> E20, THAILAND. Shelly/K2BS and Ray/G3NOM (HS0ZDZ) report that the station
> E20AJ is the callsign of the amateur radio station at the 20th World
> Scout Jamboree in Sattahip, Thailand, which will be activated by a large
> international contingent. The Jamboree amateur radio operation will take
> place officially from December 29th (2002) to January 7th (2003), but
> activity can be expected from the 26th December 2002 onwards. All modes
> will be covered with several stations operational. The usual amateur bands
> available in Thailand will be used (i.e. 40, 20, 15, 20, 2m, and the
> following segments on 80/160m - 3524-3526, 3534-3536, 1834-1836 kHz). Some
> earlier reports mentioned WARC band operation, but this will not take
place.
> However, there are some conflicting reports on the WARC/Low Band
operations.
> Masa/JI1CUJ, the International Service Team staff of E20AJ, informed OPDX
> of the following:"With strong support from RAST and Government of
Thailand,
> we will have fantastic license condition. Operation on 1.8 and 3.5 Mhz is
> usually severely restricted in Thailand, and is only permitted during
> contest. The WARC band are not permitted in Thailand. However, there is an
> information that the license of E20AJ covers all HF bands including WARC
> bands. We are trying to QRV on WARC and LOW bands as far as possible."
> The only thing we can tell OPDX readers is to listen and hope they are
> active on the WARC bands. The International Scouting Frequencies will be
> the preferred frequencies (i.e. 7090, 14290, 21360, 28390, 28990). The QSL
> Manager for DIRECT cards only is HB9AOF. For Bureau cards, please send to
> E20AJ at the Thailand QSL Bureau, (These will be handled by HS7AHV).
