Hello from sunny Prague!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is the first of my daily blogs during the YOTA 2024 Summer Camp.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Today, we had a really busy first day, so let\u2019s get straight into it.<\/h4>\n

We started off with a quick icebreaker to introduce everyone\u2019s teams, before heading to the morning session of presentations.<\/h4>\n

The first was all about surface mount technology (SMT)<\/strong>.<\/h4>\n

I\u2019ve never done any SMT before, so it was really interesting to see the process behind PCB printing.<\/h4>\n

Some of the components were so small I could barely see them when picking them up on my finger!<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We then had a quick talk from the Czech Amateur Radio Direction Finding team and even got to try ARDF<\/strong> out for ourselves in the afternoon.<\/h4>\n

I think I might try doing a bit in the UK when I get back home!<\/h4>\n
\n

\"\"<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The afternoon included a Morse<\/strong> workshop, giving instructions on how to build a Lego set over VHF, and some shack operation.<\/h4>\n

I even managed to make a QSO with my dad, M0WQE, back home in the UK!<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Finally, our action-packed day finished with the famous YOTA intercultural evening<\/strong>.<\/h4>\n

With over 20 countries here, there was a whole load of food and drink to choose from!<\/h4>\n

I spent most of my evening pouring everyone lovely cups of tea and offering out Jammie Dodgers.<\/h4>\n
