Dear Brother David

I really appreciate your effort in bringing the young generation to our hobby.
We are doing something similar internally in Brazil with very good results.
It was a great pleasure to participate in the startup of your station at 6Y1V
Regards to Stacy and all family

Assunto: [CQ-Contest] From 6Y1V

This morning I received a certificate from CQ Magazine for the 2009 CQWW CW DX Contest in the Multi-Two category for our score of 17,192,104.

 

Congratulations to Andy UU4JMG, Roger EA3ALZ, Alex OZ7AM and Alexander RV9LM for the following accomplishments:

 

1st Place North America

3rd Place World

New Jamaican Record

 

These four young men are excellent CW ops. These individuals exemplified good sportsmanship, integrity and commitment to the Amateur Radio service and radio contesting. If these four young men are a representative sample of the current pool of young radio operators worldwide, the amateur radio service will be left in good hands.

 

I urge the local teams in each of their respective countries to consider inviting them to join your ranks for future contests. You will not be disappointed.

 

Thank you to CQ Magazine for this excellent contest and to the thousands of amateur radio operators worldwide that provided us the valuable points necessary to attain this achievement. As always, a special thanks to my dear friend Krassy Petkov K1LZ for his support with the station and youth program.

 

Unfortuantely, I will not be hosting the Young Ham Contest Program until I find a new site for my next contest station. I can't over state how much this program has touched our hearts and  enriched our lives. Each time Stacy and I sponsor a young ham, then travel to their home to meet their families, we experience an outpouring of love and friendship that is difficult to put into words. 

 

Our experiences with this program over the past 6 years have been incredible. I could never put into this program a fraction of what I receive back from these kids and their families. I strongly urge those with large contest stations to start a similar program of their own. It really only takes a little efffort, planning and money. Although Krassy, Stacy and I have personally financed these operations, I can envision this being easily accomplished by your local club or contest group through donations. It only takes a few thousand dollars to make a kids dream come true and you don't have to take them to the Caribbean or other exotic location to make them happy. Just imagine, a young ham from a foreign country coming to the United States to be part of a team at a large station like one of our Super Multi-Multi's. Imagine a young ham from the United States getting to go to Europe or South America and operate one of the big guns there. Most importantly, the impact you have on these kids lives is unmeasurable.

 

Please consider sponsoring our youth for these opportunities. 

 

David ~ KY1V
