Support youth in amateur radio this December

December is all about encouraging young radio amateurs to get on the amateur radio bands.

The month will kickstart on Monday 1 December, when members of the RSGB youth team will give Tonight@8 viewers an insight into what a Youngsters on the Air summer camp is like. Team members will talk about some of the activities they enjoyed, and how they will be encouraging other young people to get involved in amateur radio in the coming year.

They will be joined by RSGB Board Director, Ben Lloyd, GW4BML and RSGB Youth Chair and School Youth Champion, Chris Aitken, MM0WIC, who will give an overview of recent youth activities and engagement and outline the RSGB Youth Team’s plans for 2026.

December is also your opportunity to support young radio amateurs. One of the ways you can do this is by hosting special call sign GB25YOTA, which will be active throughout the month. The special event station can be hosted by individuals, clubs, schools and universities or youth groups such as Scouts, Girlguiding and Cadets. This is a brilliant opportunity to show young people what amateur radio has to offer.

Get involved now by going to the RSGB YOTA Month web page to reserve your operating slot.
