The first round of YOTA Contest 2026 will be held on March 15th between 10:00 – 22:00 UTC.
YOTA Contest encourages us to make QSOs with as many young HAMs as possible. QSOs with operators under the age of 26 are worth more points. The exchange is the age of the OP(s), and these numbers individually work as multipliers.
The rules of the contest can be found here:

Support young HAMs by taking part, and help them get into HAM radio operation and contesting!
See you on March 15th in the YOTA Contest!
