Unfortunately, due to the current development of COVID-19 it has been decided that the 10th edition of Youngsters On The Air camp will not be held in 2020.
There is luckily a light and the end of the tunnel, which is called YOTA 2021. We are very glad to announce that the Croatian amateur radio societey (HRS) will postpone the event and organize YOTA 2021 in Croatia.
We are looking forward to this event. Stay safe around the world!

The Federal Network Agency made a preliminary provisional implementation of the WRC-19 results for the 6‑m band in MItteilung 111 from Amtsblatt 08/2020.
German radio amateurs have now access to the frequency range 50,000 MHz – 52,000 MHz, on a secondary basis with a max. the bandwidth of 12 kHz with all types of transmission using Antennas with horizontal polarization.
Now also Contest operations are permitted.
In addition to the — based on the result of the WRC-19 — extended frequency range from 50 to 52 MHz, above all a significantly improved power control for the 50,000−50,400 MHz subband has been ordered. Holders of Class A (“A license”) can now transmit with a maximum of 750 W PEP, holders of an “E license” with 100 W PEP.
This new regulation is the result of a series of meetings between the Bundeswehr primary user and the DARC’s Frequency Management Unit (DK4VW and DF2ZC) that started in late 2018. In the meantime, a very factual and trustworthy basis of cooperation with the military frequency management has been established.
