[CVCC] Youth in Contesting

[Ronnie Bolton]

Hi,

This was posted in the weekly ARRL Contest Update newsletter.  Since we
suddenly have a lot of funds donated to us in MYA's memory, I was wondering
if there might be any interest in making a contribution to this effort?  I
believe that this would be something that Bob would have supported at his
own station if he could have made it happen.  

Thoughts anyone?

Marty, NN1C (recently ex-KC1CWF), writes: "I am currently involved in
leading a team of youth in operating WPX SSB 2019 at superstation K3LR. We
have formed a M/2, and are working together to put on a competitive effort.
The team currently consists of NN1C, KM4ATT, DK4EE, HA8RT, KG5HVO,
W6BQ/KK6NON, and VE7DZO. The effort will be completely operated and planned
by people under 21. We are calling ourselves Team Exuberance. The idea is
that our team makes up for experience and practice though energy, planning,
and excitement. To help make this possible, we are raising money. Our
current goal is to raise $5,000 dollars via our GoFundMe website
http://www.teamexuberance.org. These funds will be used for 2 nights worth
of hotel rooms for the team, flights for those who need to fly in (W6BQ,
KC1CWF, VE7DZO), and helping with the flights from Europe for DK4EE, and
HA8RT, as well as other incidentals such as food and other consumables. Any
funds left over will be put towards future youth-only contesting events. We
hope we can train the contesters of the future in doing this. People with
questions are more than welcome to email us at team at teamexuberance.org
