December is YOTA Month

The Region 1 Youth Working Group is excited to announce that the famous December YOTA Month will happen again this year.

All amateur radio operators are invited to take part with a call sign with YOTA in the suffix. The idea for this is to show amateur radio to young people and to encourage youngsters to be active on the amateur bands. This is a great moment to show amateur radio to the world and to invite newcomers.

Diplomas can be achieved by working the various YOTA suffix special stations which are run by young operators throughout December! This is of course not a contest, but aimed at getting as many youngsters on air from as many countries as possible. The aim is that YOTA stations are in general operated by young people, with the age of maximum of 25 years.

The event will take place from 00:00 UTC on 1 December 2019 to 23:59 UTC on 31 December 2019.
