About our keynote speaker KG5HVO:
Bryant Rascoll, age 19, was licensed in 2015 shortly after attending a Boy
Scout Radio
Merit Badge course. While living in New Orleans and being a member of the
Jefferson
Amateur Radio club, he was introduced to CW and radiosport by his Elmer,
Chuck
Sanders, NO5W. Quickly, he gained proficiency and was clocked at over 60 wpm
at the
CW Ops QRQ competition. Bryant competed mostly from his low power station in
Montgomery, Alabama. He built and experimented with home-brew antennas which
were mostly wires in the backyard trees. At age 14, he was the youngest
competitor at
WRTC 2018 in Germany. Bryant was a team member on the 2017 and 2019 Dave
Kalter YDXA trips to Costa Rica and Curacao, and was named the 2018 Dave
Pasternack Amateur Radio Newsline Young Ham of the Year. Beyond competing
from
his home station, Bryant has had multiple opportunities to contest from K3LR
including
as a member of all youth Team Exuberance in 2019, and most recently CQ WWCW
2022 and ARRL DXCW 2023. Serving as an ambassador for youth in radio, he has
presented at various ham events including CTU, HamCom, and the Huntsville
Hamfest.
Outside of amateur radio, Bryant is an avid baseball player and led his high
school team
to a state championship in 2022. Bryant just completed his freshman year at
Cumberland University where he is a pitcher for the Cumberland Phoenix
baseball
team.
