IARU Region 1 President Don Beattie G3BJ reported to the IARU Administrative Council meeting in Lima about the decision to ban alcohol at future YOTA amateur radio events

The September 2019 IARU Administrative Council Meeting Summary says:

"Mr. Beattie reported on an incident at the recent YOTA camp in Bulgaria that has led IARU Region 1 to tighten its rules for YOTA events including a ban on alcohol. Mr. Garpestad commented that because non-youth ARDF championships mainly involve adults, such a ban for those events would represent a challenge in order to ensure alcohol does not come into the hands of minors at the events."
