>From tonight's mail bag:

 Three amateur radio (ham) operators and one ham radio club who have made significant contributions to the Amateur Radio Service, will be honored
guests when Hamvention® 2015 opens in Hara Arena on May 15.   Recipients of
this year's Hamvention® awards are Tim Duffy, K3LR, Amateur of the Year; Thomas C. Medlin, W5KUB, Special Achievement Award; Rev. George Dobbs, G3RJV, Technical Excellence Award; and the Orlando Amateur Radio Club, Club of the Year.

Awards Chairman Dave Crawford, KF4KWW, said the committee was impressed with the efforts of all this year’s winners. Hamvention® Chairman Jim Tiderman, N8IDS, praised the winners, saying: “On behalf of the Dayton Amateur Radio Association (DARA) and Hamvention® 2015 I would like to congratulate this year’s Award Winners.  Their outstanding contributions and many years of devotion to the amateur radio service are recognized and appreciated."

Tim Duffy, K3LR, of West Middlesex, PA, has a long history of giving back to Amateur Radio. He is founder, promoter and chairman of the successful Contest University (CTU) which has helped to teach radio sport contest operating with excellent volunteer professors. The first CTU was held in Dayton in 2007. Since then more 3,700 radio radio sport enthusiasts have attended 25 CTU’s held in eight different countries under his watchful guidance.

 Since 1984 K3LR has moderated the Dayton Hamvention antenna forum, coordinating the presentation of more than 100 papers about antennas. He is also involved in scheduling many contesting activities during Hamvention including the Contest Super Suite, the Contest Dinner and recently the annual Top Band Dinner.

Duffy serves as an officer of several radio clubs and was recently elected to the position of ARRL Section Manager for Western Pennsylvania. He became a ham at age 12 in 1972 and lives in Pennsylvania on 11 acres with over 50 antennas.


Congrats to founding member and NCC President Tim.  Very well deserved, OM.  We're proud of you.

Tom, K8AZ
