Teen reaches out to world via ham radio

The *Highland Ranch Herald* reports 16-year-old* Anna Veal W0ANT* has been
honored for her work in radio technology

The news report says:

Anna Veal likes talking to individuals around the world. But rather than
using social media or a cell phone to do so, she uses a radio.

“It’s learning about different cultures,� the 16-year-old said. “It’s not
just having a conversation over the radio, it’s having an experience.�

Tuning in over her handheld radio, Veal has talked to a man in Germany
about the weather and music. She’s talked to a girl in Russia about what
school is like in the foreign country.

In the digital age, using a radio to communicate may seem old-fashioned.
But for Anna, it is a passion and hobby that has earned her many
recognitions, including, most recently, a Radio Club of America Young
Achievers Award. The award is presented to students in high school or
younger who have demonstrated excellence and creativity in wireless
communications, a media release says.

Veal, a student at STEM School and Academy, was 8 years old when she first
received her amateur radio license.
