Young DXPeditioners Prep for Guyana

A quartet of four young friends - all in their 20s, all seasoned DXpeditioners - can at last fulfill the dream they have shared since before the pandemic shut that dream down: A trip to Guyana to activate as 8R7X.

Whoever believes there aren’t enough young amateurs in the hobby need only look at this group of active amateurs, which includes some already prominent and involved young hams: Philipp Springer, DK6SP, Jamie Williams MØSDV, Sven Lovric, DJ4MX and Tomi Varro HA8RT. Listen for them from the 14th to the 24th of February. They will be operating CW, SSB, FT8 and RTTY on the HF bands.

Co-leader Philipp has been a ham since the age of 10 (so half his life already!) and is active in the IARU 1 Youth Working Group and has served on the board of the Worldwide Radio Operators Foundation. He and Tomi HA8RT were on the youth team Y82D at the WRTC 2018 in Germany.
