YOTA Summer Camp Bulgaria 2019 – Looking back

IARU Region 1 has published a report on the *Youngsters On The Air*(YOTA)
summer camp held in Bulgaria from August 11-17

Monty OE3VVU writes:

>From the 11th to the 17th of August 2019 around 80 youngsters from 27
countries met in Bankya, near Sofia, the capital city of Bulgaria to
connect and learn from each other. The event was organised by the Bulgarian
Federation of Amateur Radio as part of IARU Region 1’s “Youngsters On The
Air� program, abbreviated as YOTA. The summer camp is held in a different
country every year, over the last years it has been held in Austria, the
United Kingdom, South Africa and many more.

YOTA is growing quickly, this year’s summer camp demonstrated this
especially well. The great majority of participants had never participated
in a YOTA summer camp before, they are a new generation of young amateur
radio enthusiasts. Another thing showing YOTA’s success is the number of
girls at the camp, 40% of the participants were YLs, a percentage not often
seen in amateur radio.

During the week youngsters did a variety of workshops such as building VHF
and HF antennas, electronic kits, and much more. However the focus of this
week’s presentations was on learning from each other: YOTA is shifting more
and more towards a “youngsters for youngsters� approach where youngsters
teach each other, rather than relying on older generations for input. A
number of participating youth teams presented their youth activities.
