[SJDXA] Intrepid DX Group Youth Essay Contest

[Bob Schenck N2OO]

On Tuesday evening at the Old Barney ARC club meeting, I was honored to
present Olivia Lee KD2UYX with a Certificate of Excellence for her
exceptional performance in the 2nd Annual Youth "Dream Rig" Essay Contest
sponsored by the Intrepid DX Group (of which I am a member). Olivia came in
2nd place and will be receiving a brand new Yaesu FT-65R dual band handheld
which I will be presenting to her at the next Old Barney ARC meeting in
January.

Press Release-Winners of the 2nd Annual Intrepid DX Group Youth "Dream Rig"
Essay Contest.

 

It brings us great pleasure to announce the winners of the 2nd Annual Youth
"Dream Rig" Essay Contest.

 

We received essays from US licensed young amateurs from all over the world.
The essays were all unique in thought and very well-articulated. Extra
points were given for correct grammar, punctuation and spelling. Most of the
essays gave unique perspectives on how to reach out and connect with the
youth of today. We will be sharing those ideas in subsequent postings.

 

First Place winner, and recipient of the ICOM IC-7300 is Silas Davis W3SED.
Silas will receive the ICOM IC-7300 as the first-place prize. 

 

Second Place winner, and recipient of the Yaesu FT-65R radio, is Olivia Lee
KD2UYX.

 

Third Place winner, and recipient of a Yaesu FT-65R radio, is Isaac Schmidt
K6IAS.

 

Having read your many essays this week, we can tell you that our youth are
full of great ideas, and they are brimming with enthusiasm to keep our hobby
alive well into the future.

 

Thank you to our sponsor, ARDC (ampr.org <http://ampr.org> ) for supporting
this year's prizes.

 

Thank you to all of the youth participants for helping us make our second
annual Youth Essay Contest a success. Let's do this again next year!

 

73 everyone,
