call for volunteers. . . 3rd Asia Pacific Air Internet Jamboree

The Asia Pacific Region of WOSM (World Scouts Movement) is pleased to announce the hosting of the 3rd Asia Pacific Air-Internet Jamboree by the Scout Association of Japan. Having had successful Jamborees both in 2004 & 2005, The Air Internet Jamboree this year will take place between 0001 hrs (5th August 2006) to 2359 hrs (6th August 2006). Participants are encouraged to take part anytime within this period to access the many other Amateur Stations operating with Scout movements throughout the Asia Pacific Region. (More information can be obtained from http://www.scout.or.jp/ (click on Air Internet Jamoree logo) Better still , if you want a summarised information on this event, and particularly so for Malaysia, simply place your email, and contact at the comment section of this posting, and we will forward you the files in Adobe.pdf format. In conjunction with Amateur Clubs in Malaysia, we hope to do our part in making this an unforgetful event for the scouts movement in this country. (The invitation by Persatuan Pengakap Malaysia has also been forwarded to other Amateur clubs, such as MARTS, MARES, ASTRA, NESRAC, JASRA, and PERAMAH, and is coordinated by the Krew Kelana Komunikasi (Persatuan Pengakap Malaysia). So be on the lookout for the 9M2PPM call and help our scouts on to the airwaves. This blogspot is appealing to Amateur Radio Enthusiast with some time to spare during this weekend, to help, setup, man, and assist these scouts to venture into the unlimited world of Amateur Radio, as well as internet! Echolink is also part of this borderless communication. Without volunteers, this project will not be able to run as smooth as it should. The primary objective, is to encourage scouts, to first identify these Amateur Stations, and subsequently make contact with other scouts on certain frequencies. So lets take the first step and place your call sign and handle with your relevant contact details, and take it from there. . . . We look forward to seeing more and more stations stepping up to the plate.. . . . . . . .73s de moderator This msg is summarised from the circular of invitation by Persatuan Pengakap Malaysia, QSP from 9M2CJ and 9W2ZN
