Amateur Radio Supplies of Haverhill, Mass., have announced a new biannual giveaway to promote youth in amateur radio DXing and contesting.
“Getting on HF (high frequency) in today’s economy is very
challenging for many, but especially for our youth operators,” said Jeff
Demers, owner, Amateur Radio Supplies. “Many youth operators are unable
to purchase the needed equipment to get on the air. Here at Amateur
Radio Supplies, we want them to experience the joy that has propelled us
in this hobby for many decades. Thus, on January 1, 2013, we’ll be
doing the first of many station sponsorships to support youth in DXing
and contesting.”
Amateur Radio Supplies will give a complete HF (high frequency) station to the selected applicant, including:
• Alinco DX-SR8T/E 160-6m All Mode Transceiver & 30 Amp PS
• LDG AT-100 Pro II Desktop Antenna Tuner
• Choice of Rugged All Band G5RV or HyGain DX-77A Vertical
• 100’ of Premium RG-213 Coax
• Vibroplex Brass Racer Iambic Paddles
• SignaLink USB Sound Card for Digital Modes
• Heil Pro Set Plus Headset
Applicants from any country under the age of 21 are
invited to provide brief answers to the following three questions, as
well as their name, call sign, and license class, online at http://www.amateurradiosupplies.com/youth-s/222.htm.
