WRAA ON THE MOVE BACK TO THE BRIGHT LIGHTS OF THE CITY In 2012

The WRAA is returning to its roots in the New Year! after some deliberation a decision was made to return to the 3rd Worcester Scout HQ, off Rainbow Hill in Worcester. The WRAA began its life their back in 2006, but decided to move to a slightly larger Scout hut in the village of Hallow, just on the outskirts of the City. We had some great times there, but we always longed for our elevated position on Rainbow Hill.

The Scout Hut at Rainbow Hill has been refurbished a little, and the Scout Group there were desperate to see us return. When the move to Hallow happened, we did loose our link with the Faithful City a little, and some of our members without transport visited us less often, so the decision was made to return to our roots on Rainbow Hill. The hut is ideal for what we have planned for the future, and while the main hall may be a little smaller, its certainly warmer!

So, please take note.......

Our first meeting in 2012 is 10th January where Dave Drinkwater G7BTA from the Hereford Club will be providing us an informative view into the world of Amateur Satellite Communications.

The new address, for those who don;t know is:

3rd Worcester Scout HQ
Vicar Street
Rainbow Hill
Worcester
WR3 8EU

We hope to see you there in the New Year !!!!

JOTA 2011 a Big Success

WRAA members took part in Jamboree on the Air again this year, operating a station from Kinver Scout Camp. A change in equipment, operating procedure and great band conditions made this JOTA our best yet.

We managed to log 122 contacts, with only a handful which weren't scout stations, this made it our best ever log. There were around 80 scouts on site over the weekend and I think we must have got the vast majority of them on the air sending messages to other scouts around the world.

We will be adding more stories about JOTA over the next couple of days, and will be adding the photos of the event too. In the mean time, click on the link below to see where we managed to speak to.
