Hello, I am Paul VK2GX and in this short news item I would like to offer a few hints and tips, to help in achieving a successful JOTA experience for everyone.
 Tip 1 - setting up and operating a JOTA station can be a big commitment for one person. Considering seeking assistance from other local operators or radio club.
 Tip 2 - Jamboree On The Air should be a joint venture between guides, scouts and amateur radio. The leaders role is to organise the JOTA activity and supervise the youth members. The radio operators role is to set up and operate an amateur radio station, establish and maintain contacts with other JOTA stations.
 Tip 3 - Try to establish the numbers of youth members that will be attending during JOTA, as this will determine the resources you will need for the JOTA station.
 For more suggestions and tips please visit the JOTA Australia website www.jota.sgars.org
