DX Engineering and K3LR
Based in Tallmadge, Ohio, DX Engineering has been serving the amateur radio community for more than 25 years, with everything a ham station needs and a team of active operators ready to give expert advice. The company is led by CEO Tim Duffy, K3LR, one of the best known figures in amateur radio: owner of the famous K3LR contest station, founder of Contest University and a member of the CQ Contest and CQ Amateur Radio Halls of Fame.

A sponsor who believes in young operators
Tim has always mentored new people in the hobby, and the K3LR station has welcomed young operators for more than thirty years. Having DX Engineering at the side of the Youth WWA is a great recognition for our young activators and a strong motivation for the hunters.

A big thank you to DX Engineering and to Tim, K3LR, for supporting the Youth WWA. See you on the air!
