Jamboree On The Air, or 'JOTA', is taking place on 16 and 17 October.

This in the 47th annual event in which Scouts and Guides from all over the
world speak to each other via amateur radio to share experiences and ideas.
The first Jamboree On The Air was held in 1958, since when millions of
Scouts have become acquainted with amateur radio through this event. Many
special event stations with GB and special club prefixes such as GX are
expected to be on the air from the UK, as well as numerous Scouts stations
overseas.
