[SECC] YARC Youth Contesting Program Round 2!

[Bruce Yang]

>From Sterling, N0SSC: 

 

Attention contesters! 

The Young Amateur's Radio Club (YARC) Youth Contesting Program is kicking
off its second rendition of the program for the IARU HF Championships July
12-13, 2019. YARC's YCP is a program designed to encourage owners of
contest-grade amateur radio stations to open their doors to young contesters
within a day's worth of driving. 

I created this program with YARC because this is how I was introduced to
serious contesting. In 2007, Ward Silver N0AX invited me to join him and Ed
Karl K0KL (SK) at his contest station for CQWWCW, only 5 miles away from my
parent's home in rural Missouri. I had no idea there was such a station so
close! And since then, I've been totally enamored by amateur radio
contesting, and I really think that formula can work for everyone. 

If you're interested in hosting your station (and you don't have to be a big
gun!), or are a young contester interested in operating such a station,
apply at https://yarc.world/ycp. Deadline to apply is July 1. 

73 and GL!

As part of this program, I'll be opening up Georgia Tech W4AQL to young
operators who are interested. If you know a young ham who might be
interested in contesting, please fill out the application form at
https://yarc.world/ycp. Hope to hear more "next-gen" contesters on the air!

 

73,
