| | Ham Radio at 1977 Jamborees (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18) |
 | | (At Jamboree East, the telephone serving the ham station was over 100 yards away; it was a half-mile hike to an outside line.) Most incoming traffic was posted on bulletin boards in front of the stations, and a surprising amount was picked up by the addressees. |
 | | Interest in the ham radio activities was very high among the Scouts, even though we were competing with such features as sailing, canoeing, hiking trails, and archery for their attention. |
 | | Special temporary broadcast stations were set up to service the Jamboree and were widely listened to, but were deliberately located away from the stream of traffic. |
