*Jamboree on the Air*
*Saturday, October 19, 2013, 9AM- 4PM*
*DVRA Radio Station, Mercer County Airport, West Trenton, NJ*
 ****

 *What is it?*
Want to meet Scouts from around the world without leaving Mercer County?
Interested in high tech wireless, computers or telecommunications? Then the
International Jamboree on the Air (JOTA) is for you! Every third Saturday
in October, Amateur Radio ("Ham") operators around the world help Scouts
meet each other in the world’s largest Scouting event without leaving home.
In our area, the hams of the Delaware Valley Radio Association (DVRA) hold
an open house for Boy Scouts, Cubs, and Girl Scouts at their building at
Mercer County Airport that Saturday from 9 AM to 4 PM. There is no cost and
it’s a lot of fun!

Sponsored by the World Organization of the Scouting Movement (WOSM) and
BSA, Scouts who attend earn a patch, just like a regular jamboree. These
patches can be purchased for $4.00 each.  See
http://www.scouting.org/jota/patch_order.aspx<http://mad-bsa.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=54fede2f3a3ef6f121de26f98&id=0a1f7bc3f9&e=b17a62503e>
for online and mail order instructions. Boy Scouts can also earn SOME
requirements for Radio Merit Badge and for Citizenship in the World Merit
Badge. You’ll also see how easy it now is to get your Amateur Radio
License. Adults and Girl Scouts are welcome to participate as well!

*How to participate*
Each Scout talks for about five minutes over the radio. They also get to
listen to the other Scouts talk, get a tour of the radio station, and get
an explanation of what Amateur Radio is all about. Since about ten Scouts
per hour can be accommodated on the air, try to space out different dens or
patrols from your unit over the day instead of all arriving at the same
time.

*How to get there*
The DVRA club radio station is immediately adjacent to I-95 Exit 2 at
Mercer County Airport in Ewing Township. Head south on Rte 579 and
immediately turn east into the short road marked NJ Dept of Transportation
before you get to the airport entrance. If lost, just look for all the
radio antennas across the street from the Ewing Water Tower!

*Preparation*
Unit leaders should remind their Scouts that they’re guests of the DVRA.
Scouts should simulate talking over a radio beforehand. This means only one
person talks at a time and the second person can’t talk until the first
person says “over”. Also, think about what questions you might ask a Scout
from another country. Things to ask about might include the weather and
time in the other parts of the world, favorite sports and hobbies, and what
they’ve been doing in Scouting. Also check out the Radio MB pamphlet and
the web sites listed below for more info and ideas.
