G4IDE Receives Lifetime Achievement Award

Tucson Amateur Packet Radio (TAPR) has announced a Lifetime Achievement Award to Roger Barker, G4IDE, for his services to digital communications.

Roger has worked tirelessly for many years to provide quality software for radio amateurs, allowing them to operate advanced digital modes without the difficulties once associated with those modes.

Roger's UI-View is the benchmark to which all other APRS Raster Mapping software is compared.

Once the software was written, he ensured that it was extensively supported. One mailing list has had 35,000 messages, with Roger reading each one and replying to a significant number of them.

This is the first award of its kind made by TAPR in its 22-year history.
