Illinois Young Hams

Who are we?

It's in the name! The Illinois Young Hams is a grassroots group of young amateurs in the Prairie State of Illinois.

Founded in 2020 by KD9NTQ and revived today by W9WSP, the ILYH is returning with the same six-year-old mission: bringing the Illinois amateur youth together.
