The Fisher's Ghost Amateur Radio Club will be running the amateur radio activity for the 2016 Australian Scout Jamboree at Cataract Scout Park from 3 January - 13 January. They will be active on most bands from 80m to 70cm using the callsign VI2AJ2016. Hours of operation will be between 2300 - 0600 UTC, each day.
More than 12,000 scouts are expected at this Jamboree so it's promising to be a huge 11 days. There will be many kids hoping to get you in the log, so keep an ear out for VI2AJ2016 and if you hear them, give them a call.
QSL via LoTW, Bureau, OQRS via Clublog and Direct via VK2KDP. See the VI2AJ2016 QRZ page for full details.
