QCWA Bulletin 2017-005 - Ryan Cutshall, KD9DAB - 
Young Ham Lends A Hand Contest Winner

This year’s winner of the Young Ham Lends a Hand 
contest, sponsored by QCWA Youth Activities, 
chaired by Director Carole Perry WB2MGP, is Ryan Cutshall, KD9DAB.

The contest winner was announced at the Dayton 
Amateur Radio Association Hamvention® - 2017 30th 
Youth Forum. The recipient of this contest wins a $100 stipend.

The contest seeks to honor a young Amateur Radio 
operator who has demonstrated one of the basic 
tenets of Amateur Radio, which is service. The 
young ham is chosen for giving back to the 
community, recruiting other young hams, and participation in local events.

Cutshall is a former president of the Bloomington 
High School South ARC, serving for 2 years, and 
is now the secretary-treasurer of the Indiana University ARC.

Cutshall is extremely active in recruiting new 
members to the club, and goes into a local 
elementary school to give HF demonstrations to 
4th grade students. He has assisted a blind ham 
with field day operations, and has assisted with 
the ARRL Youth Contesting Committee. Cutshall is 
the personification of the kind of young ham who 
will make us all proud with his “give back” and volunteering spirit.
