TIME TO APPLY FOR YOUTH ON THE AIR CAMP

JIM/ANCHOR: It's time to apply for Youth on the Air camp. Stephen Kinford,
N8WB, explains how.

STEPHEN: The application period has opened for the Youth on the Air camp 
being held June 12th through June 17th. Young amateurs in IARU Region 2 
who are ages 15 through 25 are welcome to attend this year's camp which 
will take place again at the National Voice of America Museum of 
Broadcasting in West Chester Township, Ohio. Application deadline is March 
1st and the application process is free. Campers will be notified by March 
15th if they are accepted, and those accepted will need to send a $100 
deposit. The camp is encouraging young amateurs to attend from different 
areas of North, Central and South America. For information about 
scholarships, waivers and travel assistance, visit the website 
YouthOnTheAir.org

If there are changes in the COVID-19 pandemic status or CDC guidelines,  
organizers are committed to notifying everyone as much in advance as 
possible if that has an impact on the camp.

For Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Stephen Kinford, N8WB.

CONTEST SEEKS YOUNG AMATEURS WITH COMMUNITY SPIRIT

JIM/ANCHOR: Meanwhile, a special honor is awaiting a young amateur who has 
shown extraordinary care and initiative in helping the community on and 
off the air. The Young Ham Lends a Hand Contest is being by Carole Perry, 
WB2MGP, director of Youth Activities for the Radio Club of America. It is 
sponsored by the RCA and the Quarter Century Wireless Association. Any 
young amateur can be nominated for their volunteer efforts, whether the 
youngster has aided someone in the military, the community, a senior -- or 
even has acted as a mentor to other amateurs. The application forms are 
due in by the first of April and the winner receives a $100 stipend.

The winner will be announced at the Youth Forum held at Hamvention in 
Xenia, Ohio. For details contact Carole Perry at wb2mgp@gmail.com

RSGB PUBLISHES NEW BAND PLANS

JIM/ANCHOR: If you're in the UK, look for the release of the new band 
plans. Jeremy Boot, G4NJH, tells us more.

JEREMY: The band plans published each year by the Radio Society of Great 
Britain are now available.

They are based on the band plans of IARU Region 1, but allow for national 
variations and special amendments. The 2022 plans can be found in the 
February edition of RadCom, the RSGB's magazine. There is also a master 
version published online as an Excel file which includes all the notes of 
changes made.

Acting on feedback from amateur radio operators, the Society has added new 
tabs in the Excel version, labelled by frequency, but hams who prefer the 
earlier version of labelling by wavelengths retain that option too. The 
band plan is expected to be reviewed during the course of the year.

For Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Jeremy Boot, G4NJH.
