   December is Youth on the Air Month   
      
      Today, December 1st, marks the start of the Youth on the Air month. For   
      the entire month, listen out for youngsters active on the bands with   
      YOTA in their callsigns and try a QSO. The idea for this is to show the   
      amateur radio hobby to youth and to encourage youngsters to be active   
      on the ham radio waves.
