Jota operations here in the central tablelands was a tent setup at the scout campground on the Macquarie river north of Bathurst.
There were 4 radio operators from the Amateur Radio Central West Group. We used my callsign vk2jds
There were about 30 joeys, cubs, scouts, guides and 1 venturer to get contacts for, and the JOTI was active too.
Each one had to talk to 2 people at different stations, so we were busy organising the contacts. The leaders had sorted the groups into 5 or 6 at a time.
40 metres worked well and there were lots of stations to talk to. From our location on the river there was no vhf coverage.
the photo shows the campground in the background and some of the operators.
we do this every year.
