YOTA MONTH NOW IN OPERATION…  Youth radio operators will be heard on HF throughout December.  They will be worldwide and looking for contacts.  If you are interested in a special 3 character callsign to use for a day or so, contact Blake KN4VKY or Ryan KN4VKW and request one.  They are coordinators for North America.  Get some of those YACHT calls out there.
