[Fourlanders] Dayton Amateur of the Year withdrawn

[Ron Rogers]

Well, isn't that just great now !! The other nominees get the "hose job" now
and their efforts or achievements not even recognized because of one person
?

Interesting news! 



The Dayton Hamvention Awards Committee announced on April 7 that it would be
withdrawing its Amateur of the Year Award for 2013. According to Dayton
Hamvention General Chairman Charles Kaiser, KD8JZR, the committee had
received "conflicting information from credible sources regarding the
accuracy of the winning nomination." After verifying these reports, Kaiser
made the decision to withdraw the award for 2013. "Unfortunately, this
changes the way we score for the Amateur of the Year Award," Kaiser said in
a statement on the Hamvention website. "Since the competition was close with
other nominees, the outcome would have been different." Kaiser then made the
decision to not award the Amateur of the Year Award for 2013 to any of the
other nominees. The other awards for 2013 -- the Technical Excellence Award,
the Special Achievement Award and the Club of the Year Award -- are not
affected by Kaiser's decision .
