Following your group's visit to the JOTA activity, leaders can discuss the outcome with their group.

For the JOTA "on air" activity, discussion points could include;

  • Communication: What did you learn about speaking clearly over the radio?
  • Listening: Why is listening just as important as talking during a radio contact?
  • Technology: What surprised you about communicating with another station using radio instead of the internet or a mobile phone?
  • Global Connections: How did it feel to speak with someone you may never have met before, using only amateur radio?
  • Real-World Applications: Where do you think amateur radio might be useful when other forms of communication are unavailable?
  • Personal Reflection: What was the most enjoyable or memorable part of making an "on air" contact?
  • Radio Challenge Badge - use the JOTA experience as part of application for the radio challenge badge
