Apply for Youth Contesting Program – TM4Y (@F6KOP)

By | Publication, Youth Contesting Program | No Comments

After years of sleep, the Youth Contesting Program is back for new adventures. For this fresh new start, we are planning a full team of young operators to make some noise with the call TM4Y, during CQ WPX SSB (March 30-31), in one of the best “big gun” stations of France: F6KOP 🇫🇷

From simple transceiver usage to committed contester, any level goes! Although having very basic knowledge of French would also be a plus!

If you are interested in joining the fun, please contact Jules F4IEY (mail on QRZ.com) for more info.

Note: Keep in mind that you will have to travel there by your own means and places are very limited (10) due to the nature of the event. The applications will close on March 1st for organization purposes but feel free to show your interest after this date!
