About our keynote speaker KG5HVO:

Bryant Rascoll, age 19, was licensed in 2015 shortly after attending a Boy
Scout Radio

Merit Badge course. While living in New Orleans and being a member of the
Jefferson

Amateur Radio club, he was introduced to CW and radiosport by his Elmer,
Chuck

Sanders, NO5W. Quickly, he gained proficiency and was clocked at over 60 wpm
at the

CW Ops QRQ competition. Bryant competed mostly from his low power station in

Montgomery, Alabama. He built and experimented with home-brew antennas which

were mostly wires in the backyard trees. At age 14, he was the youngest
competitor at

WRTC 2018 in Germany. Bryant was a team member on the 2017 and 2019 Dave

Kalter YDXA trips to Costa Rica and Curacao, and was named the 2018 Dave

Pasternack Amateur Radio Newsline Young Ham of the Year. Beyond competing
from

his home station, Bryant has had multiple opportunities to contest from K3LR
including

as a member of all youth Team Exuberance in 2019, and most recently CQ WWCW

2022 and ARRL DXCW 2023. Serving as an ambassador for youth in radio, he has

presented at various ham events including CTU, HamCom, and the Huntsville
Hamfest.

Outside of amateur radio, Bryant is an avid baseball player and led his high
school team

to a state championship in 2022. Bryant just completed his freshman year at

Cumberland University where he is a pitcher for the Cumberland Phoenix
baseball

team.
