named Recipient of 2021 Carole Perry Educator of the Year Award*

The QCWA Board is pleased to announce that QCWA Member # 30718 Neil 
Rapp, WB9VPG, is the 2021 recipient of the*/Carole Perry Educator of the 
Year Award/*.

This award is bestowed upon an individual who has made an outstanding 
contribution educating and advancing youth in Amateur Radio. It was 
first awarded in 2018 to its namesake, Carole Perry, WB2MGP, in honor of 
her work as an educator teaching students about ham radio.

Neil has been an educational professional for over 28 years and 
currently teaches chemistry at Bloomington High School South. He is also 
the school’s Amateur Radio Club sponsor and has introduced 3600 students 
and parents to amateur radio through his involvement in the 
organization. Among his many achievements as an educator, he was able to 
send an experiment involving protein crystallization to the 
International Space Center. He also mentored 2013 Newsline Young Ham of 
the Year and ARRL Goldfarb scholarship recipient, Padraig Lysandrou, 
KC9UUS.

Neil became a licensed amateur radio operator at 6 years old and now 
holds an Extra class radio license. He began as an amateur radio 
operator at 5 years old and was probably the world’s youngest amateur 
radio operator. He is the host and founder of the amateur radio podcast 
Ham Talk Live! He is a member of AMSAT, a life member of ARRL and was 
the youngest person to both join and be eligible to be a member of QCWA.
