Young hams are our hobby's future. Amateur Radio Newsline honors outstanding youthful amateurs with its Young Ham of the Year Award named in memory of Newsline's Bill Pasternak WA6ITF. This is a reminder that we have opened up the nomination period once again and are in search of candidates for this year.

The award will be presented on August 18th at the Huntsville Hamfest in Huntsville Alabama. https://www.arnewsline.org/2019yhotyform
Under 18 aye, sounds like blatant age discrimination to mee. Around here, a young ham is any licensee under not receiving a Social Security check.
Raegan, KJ7BBN, is an awesom candidate. Amateur Extra at 9 years old. And, she is going to be her Dad's Elmer too. How cool is that! Dan KI4AX
I had two QSO's with the club on 20m during the school club roundup, one on SSB and one on CW! de NH6Y
Thanks fellas, I think she is pretty good when I hear her. Checks in to nets when possible, was featured on A pod cast not to long ago. Chris Trouten AF7FQ, her teacher got the ball rolling. He is retired Airforce , then decided to teach grade school. This man is worth looking into also. Just sayin. Dave AE7XG
