DYM is primarily intended to encourage young people to be active on the bands. The operators include both experienced amateurs and beginners, for whom making contacts may be one of their first opportunities to operate on the air. MRASZ appeals to correspondents to be patient and supportive during QSOs. This is particularly important when a young operator is dealing with a pile-up or is still gaining confidence in making contacts.
The activity is not limited to making contacts. DYM is linked to an award program with four levels: bronze, silver, gold, and platinum. The Hungarian association also announces plaques for operators who make the most contacts with YOTA stations. They are to be presented during the HAM Radio 2027 trade fair in Friedrichshafen. According to MRASZ, the December program will conclude with Round III of the YOTA Contest, scheduled for December 28.
For radio amateurs, this will be an opportunity to look for YOTA stations on different bands and support young operators as they gain practical experience. The activity is international, so in addition to HA6YOTA and HG0YOTA it is also worth watching for callsigns from other countries. Current information about participating stations, logs, and awards is published on the official YOTA program website.
