The new vocal, youth group will be formed by Jon Sistiaga EA2ARD, Arturo Rivera EA7KE, Mónica Avilés EA7MP and Imanol Antoñanzas EC2DX.

This group will be an open working group with the priority objective of the promotion and dissemination of Amateur Radio, mainly among the youngest. It is important here to highlight the hue of 'OPEN' as it will be received with open arms to all those who are interested in providing their help that, as little as it may seem, will always be one more hand to move in the right direction.
