YOTA month starts today

YOTA month starts today

Youngsters On The Air month starts today, 35 Callsigns with a YOTA suffix will become active during the whole month of December.

This year stations widely spread through Region 1 will be taking part, not only Europe, but also from Africa and Middle-East, even two stations outside the Region from Asia and the Caribbean's are part of this event.

Feel free to make a QSO with the youngsters, they are happy to get some attention and exchange information. Licensed and unlicensed youth will be making QSO's, be aware this could be their first radio contact ever and give them a chance to experience a possible new hobby.

There is a special award available for working more YOTA stations.
All information, also about QSLing, is available on the December YOTA month website.

We've got 2 late callsigns that have joined us at YOTA, which brings the number up to 37.

All callsigns have a QRZ page and thanks to the team at QRZ that helped with that. Especially Dave, WS2L!

 

As a ham who started as a youngster, I look forward to hearing them and seeing them on the cluster!

Gregg, it's all over the IARU Region 1 with loads of different countries and frequencies. If you'd like to drop me an email at youth.chairman@rsgb.org.uk I'll forward you on to the NET manager who will be able to arrange something.
