Western Vic JOTA/JOTI | VK3SAW
Western Vic JOTA/JOTI is held at the picturesque Cooinda Burrong Scout Campsite in the Grampians National Park.
Our camp caters for Scouts from right across western Victoria with eight radio, electronics and technology-based activities over the weekend.
Our amateur radio station operates under the call VK3SAW, will be active throughout the weekend on:
- HF
- DMR, following a small trial last year
- IRLP (via the Grampians Linked Repeater Network – see www.qrz.com/db/VK3BA)
Find out more about our camp at www.wvjota.com.
Our Camp Leader, David VK3GP, introduced participants at our recent Foundation Training Course to the world of amateur radio satellites. He spoke to a couple of operators across south-eastern Australia and New Zealand via satellite AO-91 as it passed overhead. Conditions permitting, we aim to demonstrate this at JOTA too!
