YOTA South Africa 2018
The RSGB sponsored a team of young people to attend the 2018 Youngsters On The Air summer camp.
In August 2018, four young radio amateurs travelled to South Africa to take part in a week’s worth of exciting activities including: Balloon Carrying Amateur Radio (BACAR), Construction Projects, Operating a special event station and more. The week took place near Johannesburg and featured 70 young people from over 20 different countries in Europe, Asia and Africa, all representing their national societies at the event.
