IARU R1 International Youth Meeting at HAM Radio

By | Publication | No Comments

Did you know that there are about 300 educational licenses, all hams under 18 years, in South-Africa? Koos ZR6KF and Nico ZS6QL, youth coordinator and president of SARL, the South African Radio League, presented their youth program at the IARU R1 International Youth Meeting.
The youth meeting started with a short introduction about all YOTA activities in 2018. There is still enough to come! You can still sign up for YCP events, the Italian sub-regional event is coming closer, as well as YOTA South-Africa and YOTA December Month.
We had a discussion about the future of amateur radio. IARU R1 dedicated task groups which are working on this topic, keeping in mind that a huge part of the audience is our future, the taskforces encouraged several discussions and are going to use this input to develop their programs. More to follow regarding this topic which is still at a starting point.

By | Publication | No Comments

A huge shout out to everyone making our weekend over at Dayton Hamvention possible. Within 3 days, endless hours of chats and conversations, uncountable buissnescard and contact exchanges and dinner invitations it is time to head back home.

But not everything is heading back home yet!
You can keep our spirit and ideas as well as thousands of flyers and giveaways to spread the word. In exchange we will take your support to make sure all these ideas will no longer stay on paper but get out to reach some YOUNGSTERS around the globe!

We had a great time – hope to see you soon at one of our events or catch you on the bands with one of our YOTA callsigns!

While having dinner on our last evening at the Hamvention we had the chance to chat with famous logging software developer Tom (N1MM). It was great to get a deeper look at what he and his team are doing to provide us with proper software!
Maybe we will have some more time to talk about it at the next American YOTA event?

By | Publication | No Comments

We had a chance to visit the IARU booth in Dayton for a chat with Tim (VE6SH), Ole (LA2RR) and Dave (K1ZZ).
They handed out YOTA flyers and giveaways to the visitors and showed great interest in youth activities.

Within the next weeks all necessary preperations will start to make a YOTA camp in Region 2 happen!
Great to see that IARU is pushing for more and more youth related topics all over the world and is showing outstanding support.

Thanks to Tim (K3LR) and everyone around him for the invitation to the annually contest dinner at Crown Plaza.
We had the chance to not only catch up with contest related activities in Region 2 but to give a short introduction about YOTA and Youth Contesting Program.
We got tremendous feedback from the audience.

K3LR promised us his support and will host an upcoming YCP event in near future!
We hope many others will join his footsteps soon 😜
