Foundation Supports Young Contesters at WRTC-2006
by N0AX, Ward Silver, YASME Foundation, Board of Directors
Because radio contesting needs to attract and support youth, the YASME
Foundation (http://www.yasme.org) announces a donation of $10,000 to
WRTC-2006 http://www.wrtc2006.com) in support of youth participation.
These funds will be used to help Young Contesters from around the world
attend and participate in WRTC-2006, to be held in Florianopolis,
Brazil in July 2006. WRTC-2006 has dedicated three two- person team
allocations to Young Contester teams. Additional Young Contesters may
participate as part of multi-operator teams. We encourage young
amateurs with a strong interest in contesting to make their
applications for those positions by 20 Jan 2006. The qualifications and
criteria for Young Contesters to apply to multi-operator teams will be
announced shortly. While the multi-operator teams will operate at
existing stations in Brazil, Young Contesters qualifying for the
WRTC2006 competitor teams are expected to bring their own equipment.
Thomas Carlsson, PY2ZXU [thomascarl@gmail.com] and Cesar Rodrigues,
PY2YP [py2yp@py2yp.ws] are available to help you with your
applications.
You should notify them before January 20, 2006 if you are interested in
participating. [i][Edited on 07.Jan.2006 ][/i]
