Win A Free DXpedition For A Young Ham

2007 CQWW SSB Winner

Once again we are sponsoring one young ham operator (21 or under) to join our team and receive an all expense paid trip to operate in the 2007 CQWW SSB or CW contest with the 6Y1V team. You can reside in any country in the world and be considered for this opportunity provided you hold a valid amateur radio license in your country and have some contest experience.

This is a gift to a young ham whom has a passion for Ham Radio and contesting. It is our way of giving something back to this great hobby that has given so much to each of us!

To qualify, you must send an email to containing an essay of 500 words or more, in English, describing how you got started in ham radio, whom guided you through the process, and tell us why you should be selected for this contest opportunity at 6Y1V. Please include your full name, call sign and home address.

We are looking for a young ham (21 or under), with some contest experience, that would consider this opportunity a dream come true! You must have your parent’s written permission to make the trip on your own, or they may join you, at their own expense.

We will continue to take applications from young hams until August 31, 2007. Our team will review all applicants for the young ham position and select one young ham to join us for this exciting DXpedition and contest opportunity.

We will pay all expenses for the young ham, including airfare, license fees, QTH rental share and food. The rest of the 6Y1V team will ensure this is the most memorable ham radio experience ever!

The selection process is based upon each young hams written essay of 500 words or more describing how he/she got started in amateur radio, describing the young ham’s Elmer (the person helping the ham get started in amateur radio) and why this young ham should be selected for this exciting contest expedition.

We are particularly interested in young hams that have never operated outside of their home country, have never been on any DXpedition and would not otherwise have opportunity to do so under any other circumstances.
