An historic overview of half-a-century of international Scout exchanges via radio. This unique booklet presents JOTA's origin, development, ideas, and world-wide participation.
It will take you to the roots of radio-scouting, reports on all JOTA's, shows a glimpse of every World Scout Jamboree with an amateur radio station and offers a look into the future.
Co-authored by the JOTA founder Les Mitchell G3BHK and former and current World JOTA Organizers Len Jarrett VE3MYF and Richard Middelkoop PA3BAR, CQ Jamboree has unique material and photographs most of which have never been published before. The historic overview is based on their personal recollections and material that lay hidden away in boxes for many years.

CQ Jamboree is published in book format, 64 pages with binding, 17 x 24 cm, in full colour. This means it has all 50 JOTA participation cards in colour, as well many photographs. The language is English. You can view a sample page here.

CQ Jamboree will be available for as long as stock lasts; only a limited number has been printed for this unique edition.
