JOTA is the largest Scouting event in the world. It is held annually the third full weekend in October. JOTA uses amateur radio to link Scouts and hams around the world, around the nation, and in your own community. We will post activities online as they become available.

Youngster-On-The-Air

YOTA is a quickly growing group of young radio amateurs from IARU (International Amateur Radio Union) Region 1 (Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Northern Asia). It is their goal to get more young people interested in amateur radio and grow the amateur radio community. Even if you don’t live in this region, you might enjoy seeing their activities.
