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.
