SUMMARY:2026 Field Day - Scouts - Blue Springs (JOTA) event
DESCRIPTION:When: Friday afternoon\, June 26th till Sunday late afternoon\nWhere: Blue Springs Scout Reserve – Ebor Park\n14175 Sixth Line Nassagaweya\, Milton\, ON L7J 2L7\nhttps://maps.app.goo.gl/8Pid7cza9WxJwsqJ8\nAccommodations: We have access to three small cottages. They include a kitchen\, fridge\, bathroom\, bunk beds\, and hydro.\nhttps://bluespringsscoutreserve.ca/facilities/station-hotel-and-acton-hut/\nFood: The club will provide dinner on Saturday. Members are responsible for self-catering all other meals. The cabin has a stove with pots\, pans\, and cooking utensils. Bring your own mess kit (plate\, cutlery\, mug).\nScouts: In exchange for allowing us the use of the camp\, we will be putting on a JOTA (Jamboree on the Air) / JOTA (Get on the Air) for the youth on Saturday and Sunday morning. They will be making simple contacts and playing a radio scavenger hunt. Please feel free to help and contribute.\nPersonal packing list:\n\nFood with the exception of Saturday dinner\nCutlery\, plate\, bowl\, mug\nPillow and bedding (bunk beds have a mattress)\nChair to sit around the fire\nRefillable water bottle (camp water is safe and drinkable)\nIndoor slippers\n\nRadio packing list (don’t worry if you don’t have a radio\, there will be enough to share):\n\nRadio\nAntennas\nCoax\nExtension cords\nHandi talkie (we need extras for the scouts to use)\nLaptop for logging\n\nLogging software: The club has purchased logging software. You can download it at the following:\n\nhttps://www.n3fjp.com/fieldday.html\nCall sign – VE3ZM\nPasscode – 37673\nThe Class / Section will be 6D\nRemember\, all contacts use the club call sign\, VE3ZM\nPhil will set up a LAN so all the logging laptops can communicate and avoid duplicates.\n\nParking:\nVehicles may load / unload at the cabins. Parking is in the lot about halfway up the driveway.\nOther notes:\nScout camps are alcohol free. So bring your favorite soda pop for the fire.\nInternet will be spotty depending on which carrier you use. We think Rogers will be better than Bell.\nIt would be much appreciated\, if you have a modern SDR and are willing\, to leave it at camp for the weekend. That way we will have good quality stations and our new members will get to test out a variety of radios. If you are not coming out or will only be out for a brief time\, you can drop off your radio in advance with Steve\, Berry or Craig.\nThe cabin only has 120v. Therefor\, we will all be running ‘barefoot’\, 100 watts or less.\nWe need a few extra handi talkie’s for use by the scouts.\nOur goal is to leave the cabin cleaner than we found it. Please be continually cleaning up after yourself. Also\, consider bringing a separate set of indoor shoes.\n\nAny questions\, please contact Craig.     519-831-5743      chskin135@gmail.com
