11th SOTA-SP Jamboree, October 18-20th, 2024

Hello!

The 11th SOTA-SP Jamboree (a.k.a. XI Zlot SOTA SP) will take place from October 18th to 20th, 2024 in Nowica, Poland. More than 30 SOTA activators and chasers are expected to attend - and more are welcome to join us at the barbecue in the evening on Saturday, October 19th.

The event location is in the western part of SP/BS region (grid square KN09ON), not far from the Poland/Slovakia border.
For many chasers this might be an opportunity to add to their logs some rarely activated SP/BS summits (or OM/PO if some activators do venture further). Please watch the alerts and spots if you are interested.

The summits closest to the Jamboree location and thus most likely to be activated next weekend are: SP/BS-010, SP/BS-028, SP/BS-034, SP/BS-016, SP/BS-032, SP/BS-006, SP/BS-036 and OM/PO-040.

Anyone willing to attend the jamboree in person, please ask @SQ9OZM for directions

See you there - or on the air :wink:

JOTA always coinsides with a work all germany contest too but thankfully they stay away from the scout frequencies, or supposed to, these days.

Yes, I have seen this in past years that at least the German Ops stay off the frequencies being used by Scouts.
Of course those not in WAG may move away from the contest station right onto the JOTA stations either without knowing or just as they can’t hear them. As always no one “owns” any frequency but usually I have found that if someone realises they are ion a frequency in use by or required for use by a scout group they will move. Of course from here I often hear two or more North Germany scout troops on at the same time on the same frequency - they can’t hear each other because of skip.

Aha, 18/20 is also POTA - Support your park day, so this weekend we have;

SOTA SP+ JOTA + POTA + WAG

Let’s hope the good radio conditions continue and there’s lots of contacts to be had.

As you can see, the alerts announce that things will be happening on the air.
This is a less frequently visited region, making the activations even more attractive.
