[João Costa > CT1FBF]

The annual IARU Region 1 Youngsters On The Air (YOTA) summer event
will take place at Gilwell Park on the outskirts of London in the UK
during the week of 5 to 12 August this year.

This year's YOTA camp has been organised to enable 80 young people
from 30 different countries to come together to experience a range of
amateur radio activities such as antenna building, portable operation,
direction finding, kit building and operating the multi-station
special event station GB17YOTA.

With excursions to Bletchley Park, the National Radio Centre and the
Science Museum in London, it is certainly going to be an eventful
week.

Annually this event brings together youngsters from different
nationalities to create, in addition to amateur radio, an opportunity
to learn all about different cultures, foster international
friendships and goodwill as well as learn new skills.

SARL News report the team that will be representing South Africa and
the South African Radio League at the YOTA 2017 annual event are,
Philip Trenwith, ZS6TRE, Ruben van Rensburg, ZR6RJV, and Cameron
Eales, ZS6CYE. The youngsters will be part of an unforgettable
experience, learn a lot about amateur radio and make many new
worldwide friends. We wish the team all the best to travel safely and
enjoy the YOTA 2017 experience.
