[SixClub] Contest For Young Hams

[Pete]

Please pass the following news along to any group that deals with kids and ham radio:
There is a contest for young hams.  Winner gets $50.00 announced at Dayton Youth Forum.  They don't have to be there.  A young ham who helps a senior or disabled person (person helped doesn't have to be a ham) in some way, such as reading to them, helping them get licensed, shoveling snow, shopping, etc; is eligible.  They must send their story along with a photo of both by April 30th, to:

                  Carole Perry WB2MGP
                   28 Keune Ct.
                   Staten Island, NY 10304
 
Next:  There is a FREE trip to Costa Rica for a 10-17 year old ham PLUS a parent, for a Youth DX Pedition.  It is sponsored by some of the DARA guys headed by Don DuBon N6JRL. This is a wonderful opportunity for kids.  Go to www.qsl.net/n6jrl  for info and the application.  There are still some openings but it fills up fast.

Also, if anyone you know wants to help support this trip...there is a raffle.  Carole has a roll of tix...it's $5 for one, or 5 for $20.00.
