 Africa represented at Youngsters On The Air

Koos Fick, ZR6KF, the South African Radio League Youth Coordinator
will be travelling to Rome on 16 July to participate in the 5th
Youngsters On The Air (YOTA) summer event during the week of July
18-25, 2015

YOTA 2015 is organised by the Italian Amateur Radio Association.
The event is held every year in a different European Union (EU)
country under European Union and International Amateur Radio Union
Region 1 sponsorship.

This is the first time that South Africa will be participating and the
first time that countries outside of Europe are taking part.
During this week, teams of young radio amateurs from several countries
will be participating in all kind of amateur radio activities. The
YOTA event fosters collaborative learning in various aspects of
amateur radio, science and electronics. This is not where things end,
as the youngsters are encouraged to improve their language skills and
discuss issues related to cultural awareness, which is an important
part of amateur radio's ability to promote international goodwill.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish Koos all the best for
the journey and an unforgettable week. We trust that you will learn a
great deal, Koos, and make many new friends!
