Preface The World Federation of Independent Scouts (WFIS) was started in Laubach (Germany) in 1996. The goal was to create a Federation for Scouts who are not members of another world organisation and bring them together in different international activities. The WFIS is a federation, that gives way to independent scouts what they need for their self- image, a platform for meetings, exchange, finding contacts, finding and discussing common goals at different activities such as jamborees, workshops, Wood beads training and camps. The World Federation of Independent Scouts offers a great variety: many colours, different appearances, different customs and ways of life, different songs, varying opinion but with one aim: being a scout according to Baden Powell and live according to law and promise and the demand for mutual tolerance. If you want to know more about WFIS-Europe, please contact one of the members of the committee. If you want to learn more on WFIS-Europe get in touch with a member of the managing committee of WFIS. Scouts are a living example of partnership and solidarity at international meetings although it is not possible for every scout group or every scout to participate in international meetings or even to take part in every four years world meeting - the Jamboree. Anyhow, there is the possibility for every division to get in contact by radio with scouts all over the world, to exchange experiences and make friends with other scouts. Perhaps you have heard of amateur radio. Usually you will have had a wrong understanding of that or will have thought it is only a hobby for an exclusive group of very gifted people. The truth is that not everybody can sit in front of a transmitter and get in contact with people all over the world. To do so you will everywhere need permission by national authorities - in Germany it is the "Bundesnetzagentur". This permission (radio amateur license) you will get after having passed a special test. There are many possibilities for every scout to include this hobby in her/his work and to develop something fascinating. This handbook will give you information and encouragement. It will be of interest for both, scouts and radio hams. More actual information will be found on WFIS-Worldwide.org. WFIS president Klaus Tegeder e-mail: [email protected]

Jamboree on the Air (JOTA) offers scouts the possibility to get worldwide in radio contact with other scouts without spending much money or time - by amateur radio. Together with radio hams and their equipment and antennas it is possible for scouts to get worldwide in contact with other scouts - depending on operating mode - either by talking, writing or even picture-exchange. These contacts very often lead to border crossing friendship. With the appropriate short-wave equipment and fitting antennas there is no problem to get in contact with scouts in the USA, Brazil, Africa or even Australia and Asia. With VHF equipment you can talk to regional areas. The only problem is, that only a few scout groups in Germany have their own equipment or even the necessary licenses. This problem can easily be solved, if you get in contact with local radio hams and ask them to participate with their equipment. Nearly every ham will accept if he has got time and the equipment, otherwise he will ask another ham to help. If there is no nearby living ham known to the scouts he can ask the national Radio Society or the scout society (more information in appendix). JOTA is not a contest to get in contact with many different scout stations in many different countries, it is an informal getting-together using radio. Everybody can switch on or off whenever he wants. It is not enough to find a radio ham and arrange a date and then wait and see what happens. To have pleasure and to understand what will happen, it is necessary in advance to learn about radio contacts and to prepare oneself. At the same time JOTA will take place in the internet.
Page 4 Version Europe 1.0 English © Copyright Klaus Tegeder, Magon Sǿrensen, Marco Landsberger, Rainer Lüthje Wenn will JOTA take place JOTA takes place every year. On the third weekend in October. Example Germany
17th to 18th October 2009 16th to 17th October 2010
Start is always at 00:01 local time Stop is 23:59 local time. Radio hams normally use UTC - Universal Time Coordinated
For JOTA local time is used to get in contact with different local areas. Looking at the world-time-zones map you can find out which scout groups already have started.

Page 5 Version Europe 1.0 English © Copyright Klaus Tegeder, Magon Sǿrensen, Marco Landsberger, Rainer Lüthje Governing Regulations To keep radio traffic out of chaos, there are international regulations published by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The different services like broadcasting, aviation, security, taxies and so on have to work within certain frequency ranges which have strictly to be kept in. After having passed an examination every radio ham gets his personal license and call sign. The call sign is only once issued world wide and so you can find out whom you are talking to. You also can find out more information by using an international list of call signs, that means name and address.
Under special conditions even people without a license can work a radio amateur station.
Using a special call and under supervision of a licensed radio ham even scouts can use a radio amateur station. Every contact is written down in a call book by the ham. This information is needed for qsl cards and also for diplomas. In many countries radio hams are bound to keep a call book.
You can work with small radio equipment, it is not necessary to use huge radio equipment.

Call Sign and Prefix
Every call sign is made up of a prefix which identifies the country the ham lives in and a suffix that is a personal identifier.
Call sign DL 5 LBR Prefix: DL ► German Suffix: 5LBR ► Call sign OZ 7 GR Prefix: OZ ► Danemark Suffix: 7GR ► Personal identifier The call sign shows every ham which radio station calls from which country and asks for a contact (QSO).

Even on phone these abbreviations are used by habit. They save space and time when writing a SMS if the receiver does understand them. The q abbreviations are used as well in air traffic as in ship-traffic and weather-traffic. They always are formed by three letters and always start with the letter q, every abbreviation can take the form of a question when each is followed by a question mark. QRA The name of my station is ______QRG Your exact frequency is _____ kHz. QRH Your frequency varies. QRI The tone of your transmission is _____ (1. Good; 2. Variable; 3. Bad). QRJ I cannot receive you. Your signals are too weak. QRK The intelligibility of your signals is _____ (1. Bad; 2. Poor; 3. Fair; 4. Good; 5.Excellent). QRL I am busy Please do not interfere. QRM Your transmission is being interfered with (1. Nil; 2. Slightly; 3.Moderately; 4. Severely; 5. Extremely.) QRN I am troubled by static _____ (1-5 as under QRM). QRO Increase power. QRP Decrease power. QRQ Send faster. QRS Send more slowly. QRT Stop sending. QRU I have nothing for you. QRV I am ready. QRW Please inform _____ that I am calling on _____ kHz. QRX I will call you again at _____ hours (on _____ kHz). QRY Your turn is numbered _____ QRZ You are being called by _____ (on _____ kHz). QSA The strength of your signals (or those of _____) is_____ (1. Scarcely perceptible; 2. Weak; 3. Fairly good; 4. Good; 5. Very good). QSB Your signals are fading. QSD Your keying is defective. QSG Send _____ messages at a time. QSK I can hear you between my signals; break in on my transmission. QSL I am acknowledging receipt. QSM Repeat the last message which you sent me Example: QRU I have nothing for you. QRU? Do you have anything for me? Page 9 Version Europe 1.0 English © Copyright Klaus Tegeder, Magon Sǿrensen, Marco Landsberger, Rainer Lüthje The Most Common Abbreviations The following abbreviations are mainly used by radio amateurs when using Morse code. Most of them originate from the English language. aa All after nr Number ab All before om Old man adr Address pa Power Amplifier agn Again pse Please ant Antenna psed Pleased bci Broadcast interference pwr Power bk Break; break me; break in r Received as transmitted bug Semi-automatic key rcvr (RX) Receiver b4 Before rfi Radio Frequency Interference cfm Confirm; I confirm rig Station equipment cl I am closing my station; call rpt Repeat; I repeat; report cld-clg Called; calling rtty Radioteletype condx Conditions rx Receiver cq Calling any station sig Signature; signal cul See you later sked Schedule cw Continuous wave (i.e.,radiotelegraph) sri Sorry de From ssb Single sideband dr Dear tfc Traffic dx Distance, foreign countries tmw Tomorrow es And tnx-tks Thanks fb Fine business, excellent tu Thank you fm Frequency modulation tvi Television interference gb Good-by tx Transmitter ge Good evening txt Text gl Good luck ur-urs Your; you’re; yours gm Good morning vfo Variable-frequency oscillator gn Good night vy Very gnd Ground wa Word after gud Good wb Word before hi The telegraphic laugh; high wkd-wkg Worked; working hr Here wud Would hw How wx Weather lid A poor operator xyl Wife log Log book yl Young lady msg Message 73 Best regards nil Nothing; I have nothing for you 88 Love and Kisses Page 10 Version Europe 1.0 English © Copyright Klaus Tegeder, Magon Sǿrensen, Marco Landsberger, Rainer Lüthje J-Code for Scouts The J-code for scouts is not internally agreed on but is more and more used in QSOs. Whether it will be used worldwide depends on usage and familiarity. It enables scouts to communicate without using the same language. The J-code is similar to the Q-code and can be used at JOTA like the Q-code of the hams. Personal information Scouts JWN my name is … JCS I am a wolf cub JFC my country is … JSC I am a scout JHO my age is … JGT I am a female scout JWA my address is … JRS I am a rover JEM our e-mail address is … JRG I am a female ranger JWL my language is JCS I am a scout leader 1 - English JWG I belong to the … group 2 - French JHJ enjoy JOTA/JOTI 3 - Spanish JSW Good Path and regards to you 4 - Portuguese Common information 5 - Russian JAC we camp 6 - German JWB the weather is 7 - Dutch 1 - overcast 8 – Italian 2 - it is raining 3 - it is pouring 4 - it snows 5 - fine If you ask a question you have to put an "X" at the end of the code. Example: JWN - my name is … JWNX - what is your name? JHO - my age is … JHOX - what is your age? A possible exchange of information between a Russian scout in Moscow and a scout in Caracas in Venezuela whereby all words can be spelled with the help of the international spelling alphabet: Doswe danja, JWN Vladimir Hola Vladimir, JWN Paolo JHJ Paolo, JFC Russia, QTH Moscow, JWL5 OK Vladimir, QTH Caracas, JHO12, JHOX JHO14 Paolo, JSC, JAC, JWB4 Muy bien, JSC y JWB1, JSW Vladimir JSW Paolo It looks like a code! Exactly, it is the J-code. It would be impossible for Vladimir and Paolo to exchange this fundamental information but it needs some practice. Page 11 Version Europe 1.0 English © Copyright Klaus Tegeder, Magon Sǿrensen, Marco Landsberger, Rainer Lüthje The QSO Amateur-radio-traffic is not like using a telephone. You cannot dial a number and are connected. To get in contact with another ham you have to agree on a certain frequency and time. Amateur radio is no possibility to replace telephone calls. You are only supposed to talk about ham radio and very common things, not about business affairs for example. Ham radio connects people of different countries all over the world so you should not talk about politics or religion and be always polite. What is so fascinating in ham radio is to call other hams or to be called by them without having spoken to them before. This can lead to friendship and contacts for long periods of time. This international character is the link between ham radio and scouts. Example for a general call to all stations "cq, cq, cq this is DL0WIS, general call to all stations by DL0WIS and DL0WIS is listening" Or a call at JOTA: "CQ Jamboree, CQ Jamboree, CQ Jamboree, this is DL0WIS and DL0WIS is listening" If there is no station answering the call has to be repeated several times. If another station is answering, for example a Danish ham with the call sign OZ5ABC, the qso might develop as follows: "OZ5ABC this is DL0WIS. Hello old man and thanks for your call. My name is Paul. DL0WIS is the central station of the WFIS. My QTH is Altenholz near Kiel. The mike back to you. OZ5ABC, DL0WIS is listening." Now the Danish ham will tell his name (only the first name is given) and tell his location. After a second round your equipment and antenna might be described and you tell him what his rapport is like. It is common usage to exchange rapports, which is done with the RST-code (see further down). Now you can exchange other information. During the JOTA the scouts can give information about themselves and what they do. In principle only the licensed ham can do the qso but there are national exceptions. The qso will be finished by " many 73s and 55s, the qsl-card will be sent by bureau. OZ5ABC DL0WIS is going qrt.“ Page 12 Version Europe 1.0 English © Copyright Klaus Tegeder, Magon Sǿrensen, Marco Landsberger, Rainer Lüthje The RST System The RST System is used to give information about the received signal. Readability and signal strength will be used for phone contacts; all three of them are used for Morse code. Readability 1—Unreadable. 2—Barely readable, occasional words distinguishable. 3—Readable with considerable difficulty. 4—Readable with practically no difficulty. 5—Perfectly readable. Signal Strength 1—Faint signals, barely perceptible. 2—Very weak signals. 3—Weak signals. 4—Fair signals. 5—Fairly good signals. 6—Good signals. 7—Moderately strong signals. 8—Strong signals. 9—Extremely strong signals. Tone 1—Sixty-cycle ac or less, very rough and broad. 2—Very rough ac, very harsh and broad. 3—Rough ac tone, rectified but not filtered. 4—Rough note, some trace of filtering. 5—Filtered rectified ac but strongly ripple-modulated. 6—Filtered tone, definite trace of ripple modulation. 7—Near pure tone, trace of ripple modulation. 8—Near perfect tone, slight trace of modulation. 9—Perfect tone, no trace of ripple of modulation of any kind. Page 13 Version Europe 1.0 English © Copyright Klaus Tegeder, Magon Sǿrensen, Marco Landsberger, Rainer Lüthje The International Phonetic Alphabet If there are interferences it might be necessary to spell the call sign, your name or location. In that case you will use the International Phonetic Alphabet. A → Alfa N → November B → Bravo O → Oscar C → Charlie P → Papa D → Delta Q → Quebec E → Echo R → Romeo F → Foxtrott S → Sierra G → Golf T → Tango H → Hotel U → Uniform I → India V → Victor J → Juliett W → Whiskey K → Kilo X → X-ray L → Lima Y → Yankee M → Mike Z → Zoulou Page 14 Version Europe 1.0 English © Copyright Klaus Tegeder, Magon Sǿrensen, Marco Landsberger, Rainer Lüthje The QSL Card A written QSL card will confirm every first contact between two amateur radio stations. It contains all-important information of the QSO and will be transferred by the national Amateur Radio Societies if the ham is member of that society. The design can be done by the ham or together with the scouts. It is a kind of visiting card and you can use your own ideas and motives. For JOTA it is possible that the scout group designs its special QSL card. The ham, who is responsible for the radio station, will tell them what has to be on the QSL cards. These cards can already be completed at JOTA. The cards sent by the other stations will be received by the ham in a couple of months and then be handed out to the scouts who can use them for their chronicle or can be placed in their meeting point. If the scouts will post more information or pictures to their new friends or invite them they can do that either by snail-mail or by e-mail. The ham can find out the correct address either in a call book or in the Internet (qrz.com). Example from QSL Card DLØWIS at JOTA 2009 Page 15 Version Europe 1.0 English © Copyright Klaus Tegeder, Magon Sǿrensen, Marco Landsberger, Rainer Lüthje SWL (Short-Wave Listener) Even without a license everybody can be busy with different aspects of ham-radio, e.g. as a short-wave listener. In contrast to other radio services everybody can listen to amateur radio frequencies. So it might be of interest to scouts to listen to QSOs at JOTA with a radio receiver. A SWL can post QSL cards via the bureau (if he belongs to the amateur radio society). A ham is always interested in getting information how his signal has been received in a foreign country and he will answer a SWL-QSL card with his own QSL card. You can get more information from the radio amateur who supports the scout group . Page 16 Version Europe 1.0 English © Copyright Klaus Tegeder, Magon Sǿrensen, Marco Landsberger, Rainer Lüthje Morse-Code Morse-Code and phonetic alphabet The development in radio equipment has improved spoken radio contacts and so the contact with Morse code has lost in importance. Anyhow, it is still used by radio amateurs. There are two reasons for it. First of all there is less technical effort in equipment and secondly you can make contacts with little power. Further more it is possible to communicate with foreign hams without knowing their language. For scouts it might be of interest to know the Morse code and to use it at different occasions. Page 17 Version Europe 1.0 English © Copyright Klaus Tegeder, Magon Sǿrensen, Marco Landsberger, Rainer Lüthje Fox Hunting There is a possibility for scouts without a radio amateur license to do something that is as well exciting as of interest. A transmitter with very low power is hidden somewhere in the area and transmits on a certain frequency with a certain code. With a small receiver and a handheld antenna you are supposed to find the transmitter. You can organise a foxhunt with the local radio amateur club that will lend you the necessary equipment. With the help of a ham the scout group could organize it at any time or at the JOTA. Page 18 Version Europe 1.0 English © Copyright Klaus Tegeder, Magon Sǿrensen, Marco Landsberger, Rainer Lüthje The Log Book It is a custom for radio amateurs to keep a logbook. The following information is written down: date, time (in UT), frequency, RST (given and received), name of the other ham, location, perhaps power and antenna. This information is transferred to the QSL. At JOTO this can be down by the scouts. Information for the logbook: 1. Day, Month, Year 2. Begin and end of the QSQ in UT 3. Call sign of the other ham 4. Frequency 5. Type of transmission 6. Signature of the responsible ham Page 19 Version Europe 1.0 English © Copyright Klaus Tegeder, Magon Sǿrensen, Marco Landsberger, Rainer Lüthje The Amateur Radio License Not later than at the JOTA somebody would like to know what is necessary to become a radio amateur and how to get a license. The prerequisite can be different from country to country. You will have to pass an examination at a national authority. Parts of the examination: 1. Technical knowledge 2. How to handle a QSO (Abbreviations, Phonetic Alphabet, etc.) 3. Radio Regulations 4. Ability to work with Morse Code (might be different from country to country) For CB-Radio you don't need a license, but it is not useful for JOTA because the range is very limited. On the other hand it can be used in the camp and its vicinity or for organizational reasons. All other radio services need a license and cost money.

Within these bands different modes are restricted to certain frequencies. For the JOTA weekend some frequencies can and should be used on shortwave, for the VHF frequencies no decisions have been made. The call for scouts should be "CQ Jamboree" and then all other radio amateur frequencies can be used. 160 m Band 1810-2000 KHz 80 m Band 3500-3800 KHz 3570 cw ww scout 3690 +3940 ssb ww scout 40 m Band 7000-7200 7030 cw ww scout 7090 +7190 cw ww scout Page 24 Version Europe 1.0 English © Copyright Klaus Tegeder, Magon Sǿrensen, Marco Landsberger, Rainer Lüthje 30 m Band 10140-10150 KHz Keine Absprachen 20 m Band 14000-14350 KHz 14060 cw ww scout 14290 SSB ww scout 17 m Band 18068-18168 KHz 18080 cw ww scout 18140 SSB ww scout 15 m Band 21000-21450 KHz 21140 cw ww scout 21360 SSB ww scout Page 25 Version Europe 1.0 English © Copyright Klaus Tegeder, Magon Sǿrensen, Marco Landsberger, Rainer Lüthje 12 m Band 24890-24950 KHz 24910 cw ww scout 24960 SSB ww scout 10 m Band 28000-29700 KHz 28180 cw ww scout 28390 SSB ww scout To make it easier to find other scout stations the special calling frequencies are shown below: Page 26 Version Europe 1.0 English © Copyright Klaus Tegeder, Magon Sǿrensen, Marco Landsberger, Rainer Lüthje Wireless - Scouting/Radio - Scouting Scouts on the air network (Sotan) Worldwide there are many scouts who use amateur radio not only during the JOTA weekend. The name for that activity is Wireless- or Radio Scouting. Amateur radio stations are often used at scout meetings, camps, etc. There is always an amateur ratio station at the World Jamboree that takes place every four years. So amateur radio could become part of the common scout activities. DL0WIS is the central European ham station at the moment. WFIS Europe asks for feedback and suggestions from scouts who have got a radio amateur license.

It is supposed to be the beginning and should be enriched and completed by all scouts and hams among them. The goal is to give some ideas for JOTA and to make ham radio interesting to scouts and scouting interesting to hams. JOTI will be dealt with later with a special introduction. So please do not hesitate to criticise and give more ideas.
