*We offer our sincere gratitude to Sawnee Amateur Radio Association for
their support.*
Because of SARA, Jack and Audrey are rapidly building their skills in HAB
and AMSAT, primarily to act as school-age ambassadors of Amateur Radio. The
add a youthful zing, and they make Amateur Radio approachable for other
kids.

Jack KM4ZIA is "officially" too young for the YOTA insurance policy, but he
will be part of the support crew for Audrey, and the other youth activities
all week.

 Neil Rapp has started this page to allow others to support the YOTA program
