YOTA Competition 2023
Organizer: IARU Region 1 Youth Working Group, in collaboration with MRASZ (Hungarian Amateurs' Radio Society)
Objective: To increase live streaming activities among teenagers, enhance the reputation of the YOTA program, and demonstrate support for young people worldwide.
3. Date and Time:
A. Round 1: April 22, 0800 – 1959 UTC
b. Round 2: July 22nd, 1000 – 2159 UTC
C. Round 3: December 30, 1200 – 2359 UTC
IV. Participants:
A. Every amateur radio enthusiast in the world accepts these competition rules as posted here.
b. YOTA: Defined by IARU (International Amateur Radio Union) as any teenager aged ≤25 years.
5. Bands: 80m, 40m, 20m, 15m, 10m
- Modes: CW and SSB
Seven. Categories:
A. Single-band, 3-frequency mixing (open)
b. Single operator, 3-band mixing (YOTA)
Me. I automatically select the top 3 frequency bands based on their scores from the log, so I don't need to pre-define these bands.
C. Single operator, mixing all frequency bands (open)
d. Single operator using all frequency bands (YOTA)
e. Single operator mixing all bands for 6 hours – only using YOTA
Me. Maximum operating time of 6 hours, with a minimum of 1 hour of inactivity required. This means that interruptions between QSOs exceeding 60 minutes are not counted as operating time.
F. Multiple operators, single transmitter, all frequency bands – only YOTA (maximum 1 non-young operator for every 2 young operators)
Me. The 10-minute rule applies to frequency changes. You can freely change the mode within the same frequency band. Two. At most, two signals can be transmitted at once: one in the "RUN" band and another in the "MULT" band.
G. Shortwave listeners (SWL) - All bands mixed
Me. The score for each QSO is the sum of the scores of each QSO partner relative to the SWL position (e.g., the value of a QSO between a non-YOTA station on one continent and a YOTA station with over 23 years of history is 11 points (same continent, non-1 point) - YOTA radio and 10 YOTA radios). ii. Each listened-to radio station is only valid once in each frequency band and mode. Listening to only one specific radio station will result in a lower score.
Host: Young hosts are invited to apply for a separate category and submit photos, and will be rewarded for their efforts.
Me. Please provide the sponsor call sign in the list of operators.
VIII. Contact information for the competition:
A. Everyone can work together with everyone else.
b. In both CW and SSB modes, it is possible to work with the same station on the same frequency.
Nine. Communication:
A. Single operator: RS(T) + age as of January 1st
b. Multiple operators: The average age of RS(T) participants plus 1 month, or 25 years, whichever is lower.
10. Scoring:
A. Having a QSO with a station on mainland China, aged 25 or older (non-teenagers): 1 point
b. With other mainland QSOs （DX）, stations aged 25 and over (non-juveniles): 3 minutes
Me. The continents are defined as follows: North America (NA), South America (SA), Europe (EU), Africa (AF), Asia (AS), and Oceania (OC).
C. QSO with young people, regardless of location (mainland China):
Me.< 12 years old: 13 points
ii. Ages 12-16: 12 points
iii. 17-21 years old: 11 points
iv. Ages 22-25: 10 points
d. Multiplier: Different exchanges ("age") operate within each band, regardless of the pattern.
e. The final result is the sum of scores obtained for each frequency band and mode, multiplied by the total multiplier for each frequency band.
11. Log:
A. The Cabrillo file format (versions 2.0 and higher) can be uploaded to https://contest.ham-yota.com
b. Deadline for submitting logs: 7 days after the competition ends. Participants will receive an email confirmation upon submission. Regarding log submissions, participants' questions will be addressed before the deadline throughcontest@ham-yota.comGot an answer.
C. Each site can submit 1 log entry. If multiple log entries are submitted with the same call sign, only the last one will be used.
12、Log inspection:
A. Use specially designed software and manual evaluation to examine the logs.
b. Deceptive contact will not result in a penalty.
C. Individuals with incorrect call signs, exchange details, date, or time receive a score of 0.
Thirteen. Evaluation:
A. In addition, a comprehensive evaluation will be conducted on each of the three phases annually.
b. MRASZ is responsible for reviewing and evaluating logs, and publishing the results.
C. Participants must comply with both written and unwritten rules governing amateur radio operation. Actions that violate the competition rules or breach sporting ethics may result in action being taken by the YOTA Competition Committee.
Fourteen. Prizes:
A. The nameplates of the top-scoring websites across all categories in each round.
b. All awards for participants are available for download after the results evaluation.
Fifteen. Other provisions:
A. The distance between the radio and the antenna must be within 500 meters. For a given call sign, this location selection is fixed. It is hoped that participants competing in the same event from different locations will use different call signs for each participant.
b. Do not delete any contact information or details of deception! Even if you submit under the single operator, 3-band category, please include all QSOs made on any band during the competition.
C. For logged-in contacts, the time difference between logs from two sites should not exceed 3 minutes. If this limit is exceeded, the contact will be deleted. This does not authorize anyone to establish contact outside of the competition period. It is recommended that you synchronize your computer's clock with your GPS or internet time server before the competition.
d. Any category allows the use of clusters, but self-testing and point requests are strictly prohibited. In cases where self-discovery is clearly identifiable and related to the operator rather than the call sign, logs from affected stations can only be accepted as check logs, which will result in disqualification.
e. If the participant's logging software malfunctions or if any actions occur that are outside of the competition rules, the participant has no right to object to the YOTA Competition Committee's decision and evaluation. Therefore, the operator is responsible for submitting log files in a readable Cabrillo format. If other file types are submitted and cannot be converted, the log entries will be reclassified as check logs.
F. The total output power must comply with local regulations. It should not exceed these regulations at any time or in any frequency band.
G. If all transmitters, receivers, and antennas are located at a single site, remote operation is permitted. The remote operation site must comply with all site licenses, operator licenses, and category restrictions. The call sign used must be one that is issued or approved by the regulatory authority in the location of the radio station.
H. By submitting the YOTA competition log and considering the efforts of the YOTA competition committee to review and evaluate the log, the participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that:
Me. I have read and understood the rules of the competition and agree to be bound by them.
ii. Operate in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations related to amateur radio use at the specified location.
iii. Agreement that log entries can be made public, and
iv. Acceptance of disqualification and other decisions by the YOTA Competition Committee is final and binding.
v. If a participant does not agree with or cannot accept all of the above terms, they should not submit their entry or only submit it as a check log.
Me. If there are any translation conflicts, the final rules will always be those published on https://ham-yota.com/contest in English at the beginning of each competition.
