Twelve-year-old Bryant Rascoll, KG5HVO, of New Orleans, is the winner of The Dave Kalter Youth DX Adventure (YDXA[1]) essay contest. Not only did he receive a transceiver, 50 feet of coax, a power supply, and a vertical antenna, he'll be headed to Costa Rica this summer to take part in the YDXA DXpedition.
YDXA co-founder Todd Dubon, KD4YHY, made the award presentation[2] at the January 26 meeting of the Jefferson Amateur Radio Club - Bryant's home club.
Bryant got his ticket in May 2015, after being introduced into Amateur Radio through the Boy Scouts Radio Merit Badge program. He's chasing DXCC on phone and is a budding CW contester.
Applications[3] are still being accepted for team members for the August 3-8 YDXA trip. These will also be available at YDXA's Hamvention? booth in May.
