2022 ARCA Young Ham of the Year
Ashtyn Timberlake, KI7HHU was named
the 2022 ARCA Young Ham of the Year. She was nominated by the Yavapai Amateur
Radio Club where she was one of the first 500 students to study and receive her
license through the club's Youth Amateur Radio Club. Ashtyn has helped to
organize, participate in, and teach at local and club events. She not only
helped plan activities at the club's ARISS event, but was selected to speak with
the astronaut on the International Space Station. More than 600 people
participated in the event.
Ashtyn learned skills as a young ham and was able to put them to use. She
designed and built a rapid deployment emergency repeater and taught electronics
and robotics to others. She acts as a mentor to the club's young hams as well.
Ashtyn's has great potential to have a positive impact in Amateur Radio and on
the world around her. She is committed to working with young hams and empowering
them. Ashtyn is a great asset to the Amateur Radio Community and very deserving
of this award.
Congratulations, Ashtyn!
