Supporting Amateur radio at the 2019 Australian Scout Jamboree (4/01/2019 to 14/01/2019)
If you are an amateur radio enthusiast you may have heard SVI25AJ broadcasting across the airwaves. Who is VI25AJ? Well VI25AJ was the special station established for the Australian Scout Jamboree activities. The Jamboree was held over the 4th to 14th of January at Tailem Bend in South Australia. As part of the event VI25AJ showcased Amateur Radio to 2,000 scouts over the duration of the Jamboree.
The Scouts were shown amateur radio activities which ranged from Satellite, HF, IRLP and ARDF operation. Brett Nicholas – National Coordinator JOTA/ JOTI said “The showcase was a great success with many scouts returning during their free time to learn more about Amateur Radio.” Icom (Australia) met with Scouts Australia to discuss the amateur radio activities being run at the Jamboree event. Brett Nicholas said “Icom provides great support to Australian Scouts and really stepped up providing radios for VI25AJ operations. The Icom radios performed flawlessly and included IC-7610, IC-7600 and IC-702MkII models. Scouts Australia and the VI25AJ team would like to thank Icom for their valuable assistance and support.”
We look forward to working with Scouts Australia again in the future.
