* World Thinking Day on the Air 2026

2026 is the centenary of World Thinking Day on the Air and most celebrations will be on 22nd February, the joint birthdays of Lord and Lady Baden-Powell. The date falls on the 4th weekend in February. For some years, to avoid confusion, WTDOTA was held on 3rd weekend when the 22nd fell on a Wednesday and there was some doubt as to which weekend the Radio stations would be active. The third weekend was chosen to match Jamboree on the Air which is the third weekend in October and non-Scout or Guide Radio Amateurs, not knowing the significance of the date, would not be confused.
