The Lothians Radio Society again operated in JOTA – Jamboree On The Air – from the Bonaly Scout Camp Site near Colinton on Saturday 15th October 2016. Using the special-event callsign GB0BSS, the operators were John Cooke GM8OTI and Malcolm Hamilton GM3TAL. This year the operating position was in the Training Room, which was a bit warmer than the open barn used in previous years! The room was shared with JOTI – Jamboree On The Internet.

The location of the room beside the trees made setting up the antennas more difficult. Conditions were rather poor and only 11 QSOs were made during the afternoon on 20m, 40m and 2m FM, but it was busy, with 8 groups of scouts visiting.
