 YOTA group earns AMSAT Satellite Communicators Club Awards

*Faith Hannah Lea, AE4FH*, reports from the YOTA Camp in South Africa, that
about 20 youth members from the Camp made their first satellite contacts.

The group had launched a BACAR (Balloon Carrying Amateur Radio) - a high
altitude balloon with various radio equipment on-board to explore
near-space.

While waiting for the data to return from the BACAR package, the YOTA group
operated from grid KG43 on multiple satellites, ranging from SO-50, AO-91,
& AO-92. "All the YOTA ZS9 members, who made their first satellite contact
will receive the *AMSAT Satellite Communicators Club Award*" said Bruce
Paige, KK5DO, AMSAT Director, Contests & Awards.

Thirteen-year-old Faith Hannah Lea, AE4FH, of Palm Coast, Florida, is the
only representative of International Amateur Radio Union Region 2 (IARU
R-2) at the Youngster On The Air Camp 2018 this week in South Africa. The
YOTA ZS 2018 Camp has eighty participants aged from 16 to 25, and from over
30 countries that have been invited to attend a fun-filled week of Amateur
Radio from the 8th to the 15th August 2018.
