KICKER: NORTHERN IRELAND'S NEWEST ACHIEVER ON THE AIR
STEPHEN/ANCHOR: We wrap up this week's report with the story of a YL in
Ireland who's a nonstop achiever. We hear more from Amateur Radio
Newsline's Jeremy Boot, G4NJH.
JEREMY: Summer McCormick, a radio amateur in County Armagh, isn't just
known as MI0YLT. She recently became known as the youngest amateur in
Northern Ireland to hold an Advanced license.
It's only the latest achievement for the 15-year-old. Summer was 12 the
year she passed her Foundation exam, and was only one year older when she
achieved Intermediate Level. She has participated in Youngsters on the
Air, working 317 stations during that event; she's worked Lighthouses on
the Air from Rathlin, and was part of the Radio Society of Great
Britain's VHF Field Day.
Her parents note that Summer takes her amateur radio studies as seriously
as those she tackles as a student at St. Patrick's Academy in Lisburn.
And now, her hometown radio club, the Lagan Valley Amateur Radio Society,
in Lisburn, can boast having the youngest advanced licensee in Region
Eight, Northern Ireland, among their ranks.
As for Summer, she can boast having a new call sign that her next contacts
won't forget so easily: MI0YLT reminds everyone she is indeed a YLT -
which stands for Young Lady Transmitting.
For Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Jeremy Boot, G4NJH, from Nottingham, the
UK.
