international scout camp near Manzini. Station 3DAØSS was
the first ham radio station to operate in the "Jamboree

They plan to have three complete HF stations, with three
verticals, one "strategically placed" yagi and at least
one wire antenna, and to operate CW and SSB on 160-10
metres, with an emphasis on Asia. Twenty metres are likely
to provide most contacts, and they will try to have two
stations (CW and SSB) on that band at the same time.
