Welcome to YOTA 2014
This December brings exciting times for the RSGB as the UK is taking part in YOTA Month for the very first time. Many other countries across Europe will also be active with special YOTA callsigns.
YOTA stands for Youngsters on the Air – and the purpose of YOTA month will be to show young people the endless possibilities amateur radio has to offer and to get them on the air. The special event callsign G14YOTA and its regional variations will be active for 18 days in December. Various radio clubs from all over the United Kingdom will hold the Notice of Variation to use this special callsign for a day, or in some cases, two days.
It's projected that we will have 100's of youngsters speaking on the station over the month of December and the use of YOTA can hopefully encourage more people to join local radio clubs and sign up on the foundation course to get their own radio license.
In July – the GB1YOTA special event station was set up and run by the Camb Hams in Wolverhampton as part of the UK YOTA event. Over the two days of operation over 1000 contacts were made and the responses we received from amateurs nationally and internationally were warming and supportive of YOTA.
Throughout December, if you hear a YOTA callsign on the air then please make contact and have a chat with the young people that are on the air. The purpose of YOTA is not for a quick 59, 73, but to have a chat with the people about radio and the activities they’re doing that day.
I would like to take this time to thank the amateur radio community for their continued support in YOTA. If you have any questions then please feel free to drop me a line.
