Nominations sought for annual DARA Awards

The nominating period is now open for the Dayton Hamvention's Radio Amateur of the Year, Special Achievement and Technical Excellence awards.
Amateur Radio Newsline's Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF, is here with the details:

The Dayton accolades are presented annually to three individuals who have excelled in specific areas within Amateur Radio.

The Radio Amateur of the Year Award goes to an individual who has made a long-term, outstanding commitment to the advancement of Amateur Radio. The Special Achievement Award honors someone who has made an outstanding
contribution to the advancement of Amateur Radio.

This is usually someone who has spearheaded a significant project. Last but by no means least, the Technical Excellence Award is for the person who has made an outstanding technical contribution to ham radio.

All nominations must be accompanied by documentation that informs the Awards Committee of a candidate's accomplishments. This can take the form of magazine articles, newsletters, newspaper clippings, and even videos.

All materials become the property of the Dayton Hamvention and will not be returned.

The closing date for nominations is February 20th with the winners recognized at the 2006 Dayton Hamvention this coming May 19th to the 21st at the Hara Arena in Dayton Ohio. We'll see you there.
