The annual IARU Region 1 Youngsters On The Air (YOTA) summer event will take place at Gilwell Park on the outskirts of London in the UK during the week of 5 to 12 August 2017.

This year's YOTA camp has been organised to enable 80 young people from 30 different countries to come together to experience a range of amateur radio activities such as antenna building, portable operation, direction finding, kit building and operating the multi-station special event station GB17YOTA.

With excursions to Bletchley Park, the National Radio Centre and the Science Museum in London, it is certainly going to be an eventful week.

Annually this event brings together youngsters from different nationalities to create, in addition to amateur radio, an opportunity to learn all about different cultures, foster international friendships and goodwill as well as learn new skills.
