ARLA/CLUSTER: A historia de dois radioamadores americanos no YOTA 2016

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

Two young US radio hams at YOTA 2016

The ARRL reports two young ARRL members are among the more than 100
attending the *Youngsters On The Air* (YOTA) camp in the Austrian mountains
this week

*Sterling Coffey, N0SSC*, of St Louis, Missouri, and *Sam Rose, KC2LRC*, of
Syracuse, New York, are the first two Americans to take part in the
week-long YOTA camp. Participants not only enjoy a variety of Amateur Radio
activities, they hone their electronics and contesting skills and make new
international friends.

“Being at YOTA is really something beyond amazing,� Coffey tweeted on July
17.

Begun in 2011, YOTA has grown exponentially since, and camps have been held
in Romania, The Netherlands-Belgium, Estonia, Finland, and Italy. Since the
IARU Region 1 General Conference in Albena, Bulgaria, in 2014, YOTA has
been an official International Amateur Radio Union Region 1 (IARU-R1)
activity.

Open to participants ranging in age from 15 to 25, the sixth YOTA in
Austria is the largest ever and the first to include young hams from the US
and Asia. The Northern California DX Foundation (NCDXF) subsidized the two
Americans’ participation in YOTA 2016. The Yasme Foundation supported the
teams from Ethiopia and Tunisia at YOTA 2016.
