When we (AE4FH and WX4TV) arrived back in Florida from YOTA 2018, we immediately started Train the Trainer. As soon as we got out of the airport, we drove for 12 hours to the Huntsville Alabama Hamfest to tell about our experiences at YOTA and encourage youth to get involved. About a week later, Faith Hannah (AE4FH), spoke about YOTA at several club meetings that youth attend and tried to get the youth in those clubs active. The most success we have achieved is with our YouTube channel, Ham Radio (dot) World, where we encourage more people to get into the hobby, many of them youth. Since YOTA 2018, we have been able to inspire about ten people to get their license or upgrade.
