Rebekah Dorff (WG4Y) Named 2005 Amateur Radio Newsline™ Young Ham Of The Year

(Los Angeles, CA) – At age 12, Rebekah Dorff, WG4Y, of Hoover, Alabama, is proof positive that being young is no liability when striving toward success. She entered ham radio in 2001 at age 8.  A year later she had already upgraded to Extra and was awarded a plaque by the Birmingham Amateur Radio Club celebrating her becoming (to the club's knowledge) the youngest Extra ever in the state of Alabama and, possibly, the entire South. Now, she has been named the 20th recipient of the Amateur Radio Newsline™ Young Ham of the Year Award.
