This afternoon’s activities were designed to develop friendship between camp participants.
All Jamboree participants were able to partake of  food and cultural activities which highlighted the different nations represented.
GB1AJ team members threw themselves whole heartedly into the activities organised by the contingent from the Ukraine.

The GB1AJ Radio Team were delighted to welcome the UKs Chief Commissioner, Wayne Bulpitt, to the shack this afternoon.  In true Scouting fashion he enthusiastically joined in the activities including sending a greetings message over the air to a fellow Scout station.

Another great day at the Jamboree.

Today the Radio Team were visited by many Scouts and Guides who were able to send greetings messages to radio amateurs around the world.

To date we have made 290 QSO with 49 countries. Our Morse Code wide game and ‘tree listening’ activity has been a great success. The favourite tree so far has been ‘Oscar’ with his deep and sonorous voice.

The tree talks !!!

After last years successful operation at the Blair Athol Jamborette, Peter MM1CIR, Malcolm GM3TAL, Marcel PA1JPS and ourselves have got together again to provide the Amateur Radio activities at the 2013 Auchengillan Jamboree using the callsign GB1AJ.

Our Force 12 Antenna

We are providing HF and VHF radio stations as well as a Morse Code wide game and a unique opportunity to listen to the local talking trees !!!

On our first day of operation we made contact with fellow Scouts operating DP9S at the Jamboree Bundeslager Immenhausen near Kassel in the Hesse District in Germany. They have in the region of 4500 Scouts taking part in their jamboree.

Team GB1AJ would like to thank the GMDX Group for the use of their Force 12 antenna.
