Announcing the Winners of the Young Ham Lends a Hand Contest!
We’re excited to recognize this year’s Young Ham Lends a Hand Contest winners: Blake Pearson, KN4VKY and Ryan Pearson, KN4VKW.
Blake and Ryan were honored for their outstanding volunteer spirit and community involvement—both on and off the air. Their dedication exemplifies the core values of amateur radio and the purpose of this award.
They received their awards at the 2025 Dayton Hamvention, where each was presented with a $100 prize from the Radio Club of America’s Youth Activities Fund.
The RCA Youth Activities Program supports and encourages the next generation of wireless professionals and hobbyists through scholarships, mentorship, and recognition of youth achievements. This contest is just one way RCA fosters engagement and inspires young people to explore the many facets of wireless technology.
Congratulations again to Blake and Ryan on this well-deserved honor!
