Georgia Section Young Ham of the Year Award
for 2005


The 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 Young Ham of the Year Award was born.
