QO-100 DATV Station at Gilwell Park for Scouting JOTA/JOTI this weekend.

Post by Phil M0DNY » Mon Oct 14, 2024 10:11 pm

Hi All,

We'll be running a QO-100 DATV station at Gilwell Park as GB2GP this coming weekend (19th/20th October) for this year's JOTA/JOTI events.

We're planning to integrate the transmitter with the TV Studio facility, allowing the scouts to produce a wide range of content. For some examples of what went on last year see Frank M0AEU's guided tour streamed on CAT23 last year: https://jota.gb2gp.org.uk/gb2gp-station-video-tours/ There'll be a NB station as well.

If you're on air, please do give us a call on the Spectrum Monitor chat to set up a duplex QSO with our scouts and say hello!

Cheers,
Phil Crump M0DNY

After several significant 'challenges', (due to dish damage in transport among other issues), we finally have a QO-100 DATV station set up at GB2GP for the second day of JOTA (Jamboree on the Air) tomorrow (Sunday).

We have scouts in from about 9:30am to 4:30pm. Hope to catch some of you on the satellite!
