I'm not a great fan of ZELLO but one of our Scouters is asking whether there is an official ZELLO name for WSJ - i.e. one that is authorised and closed to Scouts only??
We are still aiming to make HF QSOs using the call GB0FFS, (Fordell Firs Scouts), as well as Echolink and D-Star, but the ZELLO question came up at our club meeting last evening and I'd appreciate a reply from the WSJ team. Thanks.

Re: Ang: [na1wj] QSOs with World Scout Jamboree NA1WJ
I¡¯m not at the Summit yet, but I often hear Europe here on the east coast of North America on 20 Meters in the late afternoon our time, about 1900 UTC.?
So I suggest you look for spots of NA1WJ at about that time once the Jamboree really gets underway next week.?

Thanks! As I'm a beginner in ham radio, I had to get help from a radio club. The obvious question they asked me was how the camp planned for radio communication to others. They need time to prepare, test and plan for this, and obviously they can't cover all amateur bands. So this is why I'm asking for details and the plans WSJ have. Right now the camp I'm responsible for most likely will cancel this activity due to there's too many factors that are unknown and we simply do not have the resources to cover everything.

A few updates. DMR time slot updates updated contact list (the first one wasn't complete) Changed display mode to show channel name which makes a lot more sense in DMR.

However, we¡¯ll have other fixed wire antennas for contacts too.? So help me with the Voacap info. We will have good Cat5 & WiFi Internet. Email me at kb5nft@... or call me anytime at 214-244-2100 or Facebook. We plan on operating Hf, psk, DStar, Echolink, maybe WiresX and maybe DMR. 73 Dale Finley Kb5nft?
