YACHT - Promoting Excellence in the Sport of Ham Radio, Leading to a successful and satisfying radio experience. We have organized a team of young ham operators and experienced adult hams from N.E. Wisconsin and Menominee Co (MI) and now including Lower Michigan, Illinois, New Hampshire, Ohio, Utah, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Colorado and New Mexico, and most recently Maine, plus the countries of U. S. Canada, South Africa and New Zealand. Our purpose is to expand their horizons in the field of ham radio, to acquaint them with the various modes that operators can use, along with general and advanced ham radio techniques, and to foster a greater appreciation of the role they play in the overall hobby of amateur radio, as well as giving them a challenging and enjoyable ham radio experience.
