YOTA Month a Success in the Americas
/
Youth-operated amateur radio stations in the western hemisphere contribute 12,000+ QSOs to the worldwide special event celebrating youth in amateur radio during the month of December.
December YOTA Month 2019 was a great success in the Americas! Eighteen operators under the age of twenty-five utilized special event callsigns to promote youth in amateur radio here in the Americas.
Here in the US, we reserved 4 1x1 special event callsigns: K8Y, K8O, K8T, and K8A (Y O T A). 15 youth operators across the US rotated these calls throughout December. They made 10,474 QSOs using SSB, CW, digital modes, and satellites. Some operators used the callsigns during contests such as CWops CWTs, Phone Fray, FT Roundup, and the RAC Winter contest.
