The Youth Working Group within IARU Region 1 have created a new program called “YOTA online”.
In these monthly gatherings they try to bring the YOTA feeling towards the online community and spread the word that there is youth in ham radio. A YOTA team consisting of active youngsters will present different topics, each month while answering questions from the community.
Summits on the Air, Islands On the Air, Worldwide Flora and Fauna and other radio-friendly outdoor activities will be the focus of discussion during the next YOTA Online session at 1900 UTC on Thursday next, the 25th of February. This episode is called “Gone exploring” and shares different ways to enjoy outdoor activations.
It will be followed by a question-and-answer period afterwards. The event will be livestreamed on
YouTube,
Twitch and
Facebook. (They apparently also try to stream via the QO-100 geostationary satellite in DATV mode)
