ARLA/CLUSTER: IARU R1 apela à utilização do sufixo "YOTA" em diversos países durante o mês de Dezembro

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

ZS9YOTA

Once again for the entire month of December, stations in several
countries will be on the air looking for contacts using 'YOTA' as
their call sign suffix.

YOTA stations will be seeking to make many contacts, so take this
opportunity to connect young amateurs in their teens and 20s with
their peers on the air

In South Africa, a special call sign, ZS9YOTA, has been obtained for
use by young amateurs during YOTA month from 1 to 31 December 2015.

If you are 25 years old or younger, you are invited to apply to use
the special call sign either as an individual or as a club station
operated by young people. Send your request to Koos ZR6KF at
koosfick096<at>gmail.com or alternatively to Nico van Rensburg, ZS6QL,
at zs6ql<at>mweb.co.za

Daily slots will be allocated on a first come first served basis to
all clubs or individuals. Allocated slots will be shown on
www.sarl.org.za/ where you will find more detailed information and
lots of other interesting information about YOTA 2015.

Please add a photograph of yourself or group operating your station,
in order to place it on the ZS9YOTA page of the IARU R1 website when
you book your slot for December.

A golden opportunity for clubs to run a demonstration at a local
school or to gather together with our amateur friends, grab a pizza,
enjoy a braai and let the youngsters make some QSO's or possibly
enjoys a great pile-up. Let us all showcase this great hobby to our
South African youth!
