Georgia Section Youth Award
American Radio Relay League

The Georgia Section Youth Award (formerly Georgia Section Young Ham of the Year Award) is intended to recognize a young ham, who has demonstrated his or her tremendous dedication to Amateur Radio through his or her activities. Although there are several national awards of similar merit, Susan Swiderski, AF4FO, recognized the need for an award that honors outstanding young hams on the local level, and Andrea Hartlage, KG4IUM, agreed to help create the award. Thus, the Georgia Section Youth Award was born.

Nominees for the Georgia Section Youth Award must meet the following requirements to be considered for this award:

  • A current Georgia resident
  • A licensed Amateur Radio operator
  • Under 21 years old

MARK AULICK, KF4MLT, has taught a lot of ham classes and has eased the way for countless people in south Georgia to get their first ham ticket. But a certain graduate of one of Mark's recent classes really generated some excitement. That's because JUSTIN FAIRCLOTH is only ten years old... AND he passed his test with flying colors on the very first attempt. That's quite a testament to Justin's desire to get that license, as well as to Mark's ability as a teacher. CONGRATULATIONS, Justin!
