YOTA 2017 wraps up
This weekend sees the end of a fabulous YOTA 2017 week.
It has been action-packed and a great success.
Eighty young radio amateurs from 26 countries have enjoyed trying out new aspects of amateur radio as well as making new friends.
After a tense start at the ISS contact on Tuesday, twelve young radio amateurs were able to put their questions to astronaut Paolo Nespoli, IZ0JPA.
It was truly a night to remember for all the participants, every one present at the YOTA event itself, plus those watching from around the world via the BATC internet video stream.
IARU Region 1 President Don Beattie, G3BJ and Hilary Claytonsmith, G4JKS visited the YOTA camp and were impressed by the skills and enthusiasm shown by the YOTA teams.
