JOTA (Jamboree on the Air) is a spectacular opportunity to introduce Scouts to amateur radio. For many, this will be their first exposure to the world of ham
radio. Some will go on to become hams, enjoying the hobby for a lifetime. A few will even find the basis of a career in science and technology. JOTA is not a
QSO contest. The idea is to contact other Scout stations and allow as many Scouts as possible to talk to other Scouts and learn about who they are and what they
are doing. You might think about counting the Scouts on both sides of the QSO rather than the number of QSOs!
Ten's of thousands of US Scouts participate every year. Scouts of all programs are invited to take part, from all countries, totaling over a million, though mostly in Asia. There is even a J-Code for language barriers.
