For several years now, the OARC has sponsored Canadian youth (hams 25 and under) by paying for the special event callsigns for December Youth On The Air (YOTA) month.
This year we are sponsoring Aiden VE7VCK and Maria VE3OMV. There are a couple of other youth sharing the callsign with Maria. You can see their logbooks at these two links:
- Maria VE3YOTA https://events.ham-yota.com/participants/ve3yota
- Aiden VE7YOTA https://events.ham-yota.com/participants/ve7yota
The goal is to connect with other amateurs and show everyone how active our youth members are in the hobby.
If you hear a YOTA suffix station please say “Hi.” The US is using K8Y, K8O, K8T and K8A. All the special event stations can be found at https://events.ham-yota.com/.
To follow December YOTA Month on your socials, the official YOTA hashtag is #YOTAr2
“r2” is for Region 2, which is “the Americas” under the The International Amateur Radio Union)
