ARRL is inspiring the next generation of radio amateur with a full day fun, learning, community building, and on the air activity.<\/p>\n
Registration is now open for the ARRL Youth Rally at Dayton Hamvention\u00ae. This amazing event is set to be a great day full of hands-on radio activities for people aged 11 to 21.<\/p>\n
Join fellow young people who are interested in ham radio, led by volunteers from the ARRL Collegiate Amateur Radio Program, as they make a fun day out of getting to know radio \u2013 and each other. There will be an on-the-air sprint, contacts with a parachute mobile station, a kit built in the youth lounge, and a fox hunt!<\/p>\n

While Hamvention offers free tickets for youth aged 12 through high school, advance registration<\/b> <\/b>for the Youth Rally is recommended. The Youth Rally registration fee is $20 and includes a tee shirt (to wear on Saturday), badge, lanyard, and reusable tote bag.<\/p>\n

The event is led by ARRL Education and Learning Manager Steve Goodgame, K5ATA, a former teacher. Young people are empowered to take leading roles in the hobby by participating in the ARRL Youth Rally. In 2024, then-sixth-grader Cameron Frey, KD9VGV, talked about his success as a Parks on the Air\u00ae operator. <\/span>\u201cI\u2019ve done more than 100 activations, and more than 40 different parks. I\u2019ve also hunted more than 700 different parks,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The ARRL Youth Rally is always a day full of smiles, fun, and empowerment \u2014 make sure your young ham joins us in Dayton!<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
