December YOTA Month

IARU Region 1 Youth Working Group reports during the month of December, several youngsters under the age of 26 will become active with YOTA suffixes in their callsigns

The idea behind this is to show the amateur radio hobby to youth and to encourage youngsters to be active on the ham radio waves.

The last time YOTA callsigns hitting the air waves was from the 10th annual YOTA Summer Camp in early August 2022. Nearly 100 youngsters were activating various bands and modes. This shall be continued in this year’s 10th edition of the December YOTA Month activity.
