ELKO -- Local Boy Scouts took to the park for a day to learn about radio
technology during Jamboree-on-The-Air. JOTA is an annual event in early
October where Boy Scouts work with ham radio technology to communicate with
other Boy Scouts. The World Scout Bureau reported that nearly 1 million
Scouts and almost 20,000 amateur radio operators participated in the 2015
JOTA, from more than 17,776 stations in 151 countries.
