> JOTA usually coincides with the Illinois and New York QSO parties, the Worked All Germany contest and a few others. When we are demonstrating amateur radio to Scouts, we usually come across participants in these contests who most graciously slow their rate and patiently make a contact with a young person, even taking a minute to describe their location and give their name - and even their own Scouting experiences - outside the required contest exchange. And when we work contesters, we submit a log.
