We should get lots of activity on the scanner during this....

I'm sure more will light up since I'm in Fayette County and will report on anything that might be new will popup(but then maybe not...)

I have seen some info on the amateur radio stuff they will be doing.....
Not sure what all this but I guess we will be able to receive most of the amateur radio stuff?

They probably will primarily use the 2m stuff with 146.7 which is the ansted tower IF they are even going to be doing any radio at all,and yes I can listen in with my Pro 106,I don't think they will be doing any at all.

 

[drmh]

I've done some more reading about this and I read found..... repeaters at The Summit near Mount Hope, West Virginia. These three repeaters were provided by Icom America as part of their sponsorship of the Boy Scouts of America and their support to the 2013 National Scout Jamboree. They will remain in place for the next several years supporting not only the Jamboree but all events at The Summit as well as the local community.

 

[OldDeadOne]

The 146.7 is already used at the Ansted tower,the other two probably toward Beckley.

This should explain the frequencies used for amateur radio.

Operations for the event will not be using them. They will be on other systems or frequencies.

Lots of scout jamboree activity on WVNG TG 9501 and 146.700 Repeater.
Jamboree net on 146.700 at 7:30 PM...lots of Echolink checkins from around the country.

I could have sworn that a year ago or more somebody submitted information regarding a ton of frequencies (conventional) that would be in use up at the Summit. I also could have sworn they were entered into the DB. But I don't see them anywhere in Fayette or Raleigh Co.

Jess -- what happened to that nice big list of conventional stuff for the Summit? I don't think I'm mistaken. I'm fairly certain it was a very detailed list of conventional radio frequencies to be used up at the Summit.

They are under the Summit Bechtel page on other state agencies. The TG's are under Fayette County.

Monitoring and recording all from Beckley...no hits to date, probably too far away for UHF simplex..

I'm getting about ten TG's 85xx & 86xx here in Charleston and 3 - 5 digit TG's. Lots of activity.

Oh Ok. In that case, I'd recommend that those who are within earshot and who are really interested in hearing what is going on up there during the Jambo (or who might be going to the event and carry a scanner, if that's even possible/allowed) take a look at the link Jess posted above for the conventional freqs. If I was within earshot, I'd find it interesting to listen to all of that stuff.

Glen jean Site is the "hot spot" for the Jamboree. Several unknown TGs active...8502 seems to be the main dispatch on site, Heard activity on 8501, 8502, 8503, 8506 and 8506. Glen Jean Site is a stretch from my location but I found a spot in the house that is pretty consistent.

[KD8HE]

Also 8544 and 8559 (sounded like the camp commanders or admin).
Also something weird...definitely BSA traffic on 453.5625 (Beaver VFD or Site 031 Beckley SIRN)
Lots of activity...
